A 28-year-old Turkish national from the city of Sakarya has been arrested by police in Russia’s internal republic of Dagestan bordering breakaway Chechnya, Itar-Tass reported.

Investigators established that the he fought against the federal forces in Chechnya in 2002-2004 as a member of an illegal armed formation headed by Ruslan Gelayev, the former defense minister of the Chechen rebel government killed in early 2004, as well as with Saudi mercenary Abu-Havs who reportedly sponsored the Beslan school seizure.

A man in whose house the foreigner was hiding, has also been arrested. Both are currently being questioned in order to specify their involvement in terrorist activities.
