he would soon be killed in a shootout with special forces. in the northern. youngest republic of the russian federation for the past twenty you. lived through several conflicts terror operations and a string of retaliation. terrorists an islamic state would be cool to the caucasus emirate young people into the world with promises of a ticket to paradise when in reality trains become terrorists and suicide bombers. at the age of eighteen most of went into the woods to join the militants this is the first time seeing his mother since he voluntarily surrendered himself she hasn't seen him for two years.

you've got a good. i didn't believe it until the end until i saw him on t.v. showing that he surrendered i was so happy that he's come back he had given himself up. personally i didn't want to kill anyone there was some misunderstanding about that they argued about who should be killed but i didn't want to do that. and i clearly remember one time when they were talking about it i wasn't standing far from them and the moment. i started thinking about how to escape from them as quickly as possible to meet them.

he talks quietly and his speech is a little slurred his eyes daughter around psychologists believe that exhibits the classic signs of autism back in the woods he was only trusted with menial tasks the only way he could earn the respect of his comrades was to become a suicide bomber. once he returned home from the woods cut his hair and took off his kemah flowers uniform his mother was relieved. grew up and lived most of his life without his father who was sent to prison for murder he says that he used to watch islamic videos on the internet he became obsessed with the subject and began to look for people. you could introduce him to militant groups so you can just. met some people when i went to the mosque since he asked them if they had any connections with the fighters in the forest because. they said nothing at first but later when they saw that i didn't go anywhere and didn't give them

away legs they told me there might be some options as. did make his way into the woods despite the fact that joining illegal paramilitary groups can be punished with up to five years in prison. and i wanted to go there a thousand times just to grab my son and take him away from the woods. i thought about it day and night it made my hair turn gray i just couldn't think of anything else. is yet another mother who lost her son to the forest. not long ago our son was studying to become a lawyer got a bright future ahead of him one day though he simply didn't come home. i came home from work in the evening he hadn't answered his phone since lunch and

in the evening they brought me a note from him that read mom i'm sorry i've left i couldn't do anything else. it was like a bombshell this was it his friends gave me that note at around eight o'clock in the evening the stain i was in is beyond description. it was horrible what can i do where do they go they usually go to the village of our city from here. is a small village in a mountain forest it's very easy to break away from iran move just and return from the mountains by the many small cobs that bypass the checkpoints. it was here the funniest friend saw his son or sam on the day he disappeared. i began to look for him very early the next morning while garlic was in season the

locals harvest it at that time of the year so i pretended to be looking for garlic and went into the woods. i was terrified of course before i tried to pass the message to my son. i told him i'm in the woods now and i won't go away until you come out if you wanted me to die he could stay where he was it was late march it was really cold and i fell seriously ill. and had a personal reason for escaping into the woods the militant group you joined was headed by the person closest to him after his mother. who could be my uncle was leading the group by joining to i had admired my own goal ever. since i was a little boy i tried to be like him perhaps even for the reasons that he was there most of them we kept in touch from time to time through social networks one point he told me to come to his home just to see him we met a couple of times when i've followed him and. it's hard to refuse when you.

ask you to do something if it hadn't been for his mother would certainly have stayed in the woods perhaps forever. word travels quickly locals told me that my mother had been searching for me in the woods for more than two weeks she had some serious health problems as soon as i find out about i tried to get in touch with her. i didn't have any means of communication i didn't have a phone. he sent a message to my phone number mom i will come out at twelve. she came in a taxi by herself she was totally depressed and looked as though she'd been crying . as we were leaving our village we saw

a column of tanks heading toward said. there was a long line of vehicles so many if they were still moving the next morning when they launched a special operation and bomb the whole group of a group where they killed almost everybody. yet i had been able to take him away from there maybe that was just good chance. artist then went on to finish college he moved to moscow found a job and got married a baby girl was born but it wasn't easy to forget his past. our son was arrested in moscow because of a photograph taken in two thousand and nine in which he's seen in the woods carrying on. several months in prison during the investigation r.c.n. was found guilty and given a five and a half years suspended sentence. i got three years on probation so during these

three years with god's help everything goes well my criminal record will be cleared just i need to find a job now it doesn't matter what kind of work anything will do i hope there's a chance with god's help that i'll start working soon. with with the board. in two thousand and eleven introduced a special new program intended to reintegrate former members of ahmed militant groups into society. people who have never been involved in murder or other serious crimes can be granted immunity from prosecution. then given help to find new jobs even though the official unemployment rate stands at forty nine percent. if we did have work there wouldn't be so many people here. but it is a majority is out of work they just live off the land to the numerous of the chimp

shows what the people do well that's what they've got there's almost no way i'm out of what myself and that's not true and if you want to work you'll find the way. most folks who had just escaped from the terrorist camp was also promised a job. house or sun still falling around that no everything's fine now. what are you doing i'm going to find a job somewhere. where. he'll work at a construction site for now. and when i saw him on t.v. i couldn't see his stace only the back of his head. and i still recognize my boy instantly what matters most is that i didn't lose them forever.

poverty isn't the end you can make them money and everything for me put right as long as you don't lose your soul. one element of the rehabilitation is regular visits to a local mosque under the supervision of a police officer every friday afternoon the faithful. doing for an hour and a half and get together for a blink a tree press they use the central mosque in the area where they live the latest news is discussed before press begin. once inside the mosque everyone considers themselves face to face with. a fourteen centuries ago predicted that the time would come when children would disobey their parents now our children say that the parents don't understand islam.

diverted from. the children say about we abandoned islam during the communist era the children cannot be blamed for this it is the fault of their parents the parents who failed to pass on parts of their own upbringing education to their children that these parents did not teach their children how to be true muslims. with the collapse of the soviet union many muslims of the north caucuses began to return to islamic values there was a shortage of the people and funding needed to establish proper centers for faith education. the religious vacuum was soon filled by charity foundations from countries where wahhabi islam still underpins ideology. there are almost six thousand such organizations in saudi arabia alone. that characterized by calling on the faithful to take up arms and fight for the purity of islam they believe that no state can be secular and anyone who recognizes and or thirty other than i love is

declared an enemy. they aim to recruit young people and encourage them not to study islam but to rise in rebellion or they will say if you rise up everything will be in order and thought it doesn't work that way that's not high order is a stablished. ok . i david crombie welcome to ted you're all of virginia it's a little while in the middle of the chesapeake bay part of a jane. county. rampage here all in the chesapeake bay probably one of the best there is an attempt to sell fred.

to find out more visit our big dog called. and if the fia alexy of us spent almost a year with militants she was on the federal wanted list. she left the woods joe in the ninth month of pregnancy she went to live with her husband who was the leader of an illegal paramilitary gang. is in the lurch boy very active. she surrendered herself all entirely he did not she was cleared of criminal charges she wasn't today's she receives an allowance for bringing up a child she's moved from her old shabby house into a new apartment. i'm raising my child alone he doesn't have a father of course that we'd better if he did but it worked out this way and i can't change that i have to move on from things now i have someone to live for.

i'm bringing up my son. and us to see it was very young when her father died though her mother was russian she had no choice about what religion to follow islam was her only option she always knew she'd missed out on her father's affection she married early and says she loved her husband and shared his values. but i became attached to him. i couldn't imagine living without him so as i was leaving i thought of nothing else i didn't think about my relatives nothing at all . i just wanted to be with him. and a soon as i left i began to realize that what i had done was wrong. used to tell me that it was the duty of every muslim take part in the jihad and laura five the religion of islam. he said he wouldn't stay here he had already chosen that half so

there was no talking about it he was very far. was born one month before his father died in a shootout with police officers. four other militants died with him they all wore suicide belts and carried a whole stash of explosives. he was a good man and i became attached to him. he wasn't rude or anything he was a good man and always kind to everybody he tried to help people he did this for these people and that for those people. understood she is good man. was on the federal wanted list he was eventually found guilty of taking part in several crimes which included killing servicemen and police officers

and at the cia is not yet ready to tell us about his father. i don't know i don't even think about it i can tell my baby about his father when he grows up a little when he's three or four when children start understanding these things. lost two of sons in one night bokes one policeman. it was in two thousand and four when armed terrorists attacked police checkpoints and throughout the republic and in the city of night. this is all that has left from my sons and husband these are my boys and my husband

. it was a youngest son who had to deliver the terrible news. came to me in the morning. i told him to tell me everything to conceal nothing from his mother. i asked him what happened he said. i don't know for sure but it seems that you. have been killed. but then my father came to me and he said i know this is hard to have to say you know now that your sons have been killed you have already endured we did so he. is strong because she's behind has also been killed with. three but we buried all three of them like that two brothers and one grave.

they're all lying close to each other. but he. thinking. we have to live with this pain and grief. several years later police officers again came under attack. the internal affairs department was blown up and does more than twenty people were killed and one hundred thirty injured. it was later discovered that these terror attacks by of the commander of the criminal paramilitary units from the caucasus emirate. as a former policeman himself he knew the strongest and weakest points of law

enforcement agencies there was a long manhunt but eventually he was found. among the many charges was attempting to kill the head of the republic. of two bodyguards died. they met again in the courts in two thousand and thirteen we have. a witness. i never did harm to any man i beg for pardon. even if you have done no harm. still repent for not having done good we're not against syria we follow the qur'an and. anyone who is against that enemies are not my enemies. but if you all just hide behind islam people up killing them try to cover it up with islam but not against.

the rest almost certainly encouraged more militants to leave the woods in two years fifty four people voluntarily surrendered. i've always said that ninety nine percent of the work is prevention it includes negotiations and making requests there's nothing wrong with the authorities asking and trying to convince criminals they're doing if he surrenders because of these negotiations it can only be for the better it means the authorities worked well we have a rule that was introduced here preventing anyone who has surrendered their arms from ever working for law enforcement bodies he will never work with weapons it's forbidden he won't be drafted into the army he won't be asked to repay his. in two thousand and thirteen the police saw their first calm day and many yos the day's report read no incidents for twenty four hours. so far there's been only one such report. these kids they were cheated now they were

covering their senses when they start thinking about themselves about their families about their parents things are returning to normal people start travelling which they didn't do before because they were scared that militants would come out of the woods. criminal prosecution was brought to an end he will be under the constant supervision of his neighborhood police officer for two years and he will not be allowed to cross the republic borders before i went into the woods i wondered for a long time if life in that was as they said you. i was satisfied here

with school and everything out that it was just that i couldn't decide what i really wanted. then with all the militants in the woods he'd given up hope of walking with his brother to go to the river. a lot of changes have taken place since then and everyone's grown up my friends used to look different to tell you the truth i couldn't even recognise my brother. today is simply able to watch the water. fish. to bite instead of gunfire and explosions. not long ago he might have made a very different choice. it's offered us a deal we sacrifice our souls in exchange for that i'll admit c'est

paradise. this is an anti-tank strap on my. visual and i use a lot of everything there are lots of ball bearings and screws here i'll show them to the camera you see. just like well. this suicide bomber is the son of a former head of police he used to work for the police himself blew himself up at a neighborhood police officers funeral seven people were killed he was decapitated by the blast. early suspicions in the investigation pointed to another man. of a son in these photographs he's in the woods carrying

a gun and wearing camouflage he was on the run for eighteen months. love with this they brought everybody together at the school that comes out of the of had killed seven people. there and this teen were badly injured. but. i said he couldn't have done that. yeah i'll go with you on took were no more than what the government did when they showed me a picture on a mobile phone that head of a man that had blown himself up and i said that's not my son but that it's not him one. comes that's mother even took a d.n.a. test to see if it was actually her son who had blown himself up two days later he's formally apologized for their mistake but reminded her they were still searching for. him him.

to be showed us that photo two. i'm sorry if you have even the slightest chance to come back i have become ill because that you know i have developed diabetes and my blood pressure is now very high. i beg you to come back since you left my blood sugar levels are. dangerously high. leave come back. nobody here is going to harm you you will go to prison. they were ready to do anything for their country to me to try out it was to love
