By empty (7/7/2004 issue of the CACI Analyst)

Magomed-hadji Albogachiev announced on 5 July at a specially convened meeting of Ingushetia\'s Muslim clergy that he has submitted his resignation as chief mufti to protest the \"anti-Islamic\" policies of President Murat Zyazikov, ingushetiya.ru reported. Albogachiev noted that the increase in corruption, abductions and other crimes, and the worsening economic situation are a source of concern and indignation to the republic\'s population, but even the coordinated attacks on Interior Ministry facilities on 21-22 June did not impel the Ingushetian leadership to abandon its policies, which Albogachiev branded as \"aimed at splitting society.
