[1] On 6 January, in heavy snowfall, Ramzan Akhmadov's detachment descended to Shali and settled for the night in the territory of an abandoned huge industrial zone of a Pipe Factory.At that time the Russian command received information that a group of militants had been spotted on the territory of the plant.In addition, there were another 300 Chelyabinsk millionaires who had arrived in the city two days before the militants began their march to Argun.Having learnt how many opponents were in the commandant's office, Akhmadov subjected the building to heavy shelling and refused to storm it.Ramzan Akhmadov later recalled that due to extreme fatigue they overturned the stretcher on which they were carrying Basayev several times.
