According to the Kazakhstani Embassy to Russia, there were several Chechens and Ingushs born in Kazakhstan among the terrorists. It is stressed in the note that this fact cannot be considered the ground for stating that they are Kazakhstani citizens taking into account that almost all adult Chechens were born in Kazakhstan due to the deportation during the World War Two.
