SHAMIL AT-TURKI

Go Back

Shamil (Afooq Qainar) from Istanbul, Turkey. Killed in Grozny, Chechnya, in November 1999. Aged 25. 1st hand account.

With some Chechen ancestory, he deeply loved Chechnya and was more often alongside Chechens than Turks. He had also participated in the Chechen Jihad of 1999-96. With his good manners, polite attitude and modesty, he got along well with everyone. He also took part in the Dagestan Jihad in the Novalak Region where, notably, his group fought their way out of a Russian siege at a cost of 25 Shaheed.

He was martyred in the second month of this War (November 1999) in Grozny.

May Allah accept your efforts O Shamil to lift His Word High in the Caucasus and enter you into Paradise.
