Kazakh security agencies have uncovered and put an end to the activities of the group Central Asia Mujahedeen Jamaat, which is believed to be a cell of the international terrorist network al Qaeda, First Deputy Chairman of the Kazakh National Security Committee Vladimir Bozhko said. \"The National Security Committee has put an end to the activities of a deeply clandestine terrorist group, Central Asia Mujahedeen Jamaat, which was acting in Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, and Russia and had links with the organization al Qaeda,\" Bozhko announced at a news conference in Astana on Thursday. The special services earlier detained the leaders and members of the Central Asia Mujahedeen Jamaat and also their accomplices. Among the detainees are nine Kazakh citizens, four Uzbek citizens, and also four female residents of the Southern Kazakhstan region, who had been trained to act as suicide bombers, he said. Security agents found and seized about 1,000 copies of literature and about 2,000 audio and video cassettes which contained calls to terror, including Osama bin Laden\'s addresses, Bozhko said. They also found fake passports and equipment for their manufacture, components of explosive devices, weapons, and ammunition, he said. In addition to the funds that the group was raising inside the country, they were also financed from abroad, he said. In addition, while investigating the activities of this organization, the National Security Committee detained Uzbek citizen Abos Usmonov, who \"received instructions from abroad to prepare terrorist attacks against a top official in Uzbekistan together with his accomplices,\" he said. The Jamaat was controlled from abroad through appointed leaders, or emirs, Bozhko said. One of them was Akhmat Bekmurzayev, an Uzbek citizen, who was killed in an operation to prevent terrorist attacks in Uzbekistan in March 2004, Bozhko said. Another emir, Zhakshybek Biimurzayev, an ethnic Kyrgyz and a Kyrgyz citizen, had Uzbek and Kazakh passports and was responsible for organizing terrorist attacks in Tashkent, he said.
