Three top commanders from the Caucasus Emirate, including the notorious Aslan Byutukayev and Muharram Saidov, have clandestinely met a representative of the Saudi intelligence to discuss a potential cooperation, the Tbilisi-based Azaval-Dasavali newspaper reported.

According to the report, the Saudi agent offered the terror group massive financial and military aid to help secede from Russia.

The jihadi organization, active in southwestern Russia, has considerably been impaired after its top leaders such as Aliaskhab Alibulatovich Kebekov, also known as Ali Abu Muhammad al-Daghestani, Magomed Suleimanov and kamil Saidov were killed in a precise operation by Russian special forces.

The Saudi Wahhabi ideology has served as the main dogma adopted by the salafi jihadists fighting the Soviet Union in the 80s of the last century.
