Rebel field commanders resort to drug smuggling and kidnapping to fund their units ("Country Report on Human Rights Practices 2005") [#46144], [ID 16644]
"Rebel field commanders reportedly resorted to drug smuggling and kidnapping to fund their units. As a result, distinguishing between rebel units and criminal gangs was often difficult if not impossible. Some rebels allegedly received financial and other forms of assistance from foreign supporters of international terrorism. Government officials continued to maintain that there were two to three hundred foreign fighters in Chechnya."
