Riyadus-Salihiin

Riyadus-Salihiin

Riyadus Salihiin Reconnaissance and Sabotage Battalion of Chechen Martyrs (also spelled Riyadus-Salikhin or Riyad us-Salihiin), later known as Islamic Brigade of Shaheeds "Riyadus Salihiin", was the name of a "shahid" ("martyr") brigade of Chechen suicide attackers founded in 2002. Its amir (leader) was the Chechen commander Shamil Basayev, who died in July 2006.

It is claimed that Riyadus Salihiin was responsible for the 2002 Grozny truck bombing which killed 83 people and blew up the Chechen republic's government headquarters in the Grozny as well as the hostake-taking in a school in Beslan in 2004 which resulted in at least 386 casualties.
