2000 Zhani-Vedeno ambush
The Zhani-Vedeno ambush took place on March 29, 2000, when a mechanized column of Russian Interior Ministry troops was ambushed in the southern Vedensky District of Chechnya, and destroyed by the largely Dagestani force of multinational mujahideen who fought on Chechen separatist side under Arab commander Ibn al-Khattab and were led by Abu Quteiba, a field commander for the Islamic International Brigade. As the result of the attack on the convoy and on Russian relief forces, scores of Russian special police and paramilitary troops were killed or captured. Nine OMON officers were taken hostage and executed soon after Russian command refused to swap them for the arrested military officer Yuri Budanov.
==Ambush==
On the morning of March 29, 2000, a Russian Interior Ministry force led by Major Imran Simonov, consisting of some 48 men according to the Russian account (41 of them were members of the OMON special police from Perm Krai, mostly from the city of Berezniki, and the rest were attached Chechen policemen and Internal Troops paramilitary soldiers), was on its way to conduct a so-called "cleansing" (''zachistka'') operation in the village of Tsentoroi in Chechnya's southern highlands near Vedeno, travelling in a column of BTR-series wheeled armoured personnel carriers and heavy-duty military trucks. Russian airborne unit that was stationed nearby actually intercepted a rebel communication regarding the preparations for the ambush, but failed to warn the convoy (possibly on purpose, given the widespread loathing of OMON in Russia and especially in the context of Chechen conflict).〔
At about 7 or 8 am, the column stopped after one of the trucks broke down before entering the ambush site. Major Valentin decided to personally check a bombed-out house nearby and accidentally discovered a small group of rebel fighters hiding there. He was the first to be killed, shot dead as he entered the door (an OMON officer recording this scene with a video camera was also shot just seconds after). Once the firing started, more rebels, who were hiding nearby in the undergrowth and behind trees, encircled the column and joined the attack. They blew up the truck transporting grenade launchers and ammunition with an RPG shot and pinned down the rest of the convoy in a hail of gunfire and grenades. Some of the Russians ran and hid in the nearby forest. Rebels killed everyone in one separated BTR (which had continued to drive on prior to the attack) and captured the vehicle intact, but later abandoned and burned it.〔〔〔〔
Inaccurate rocket strafing attacks by Russian attack helicopters, apparently unaware that some of their own men were hiding in the forest, failed to dislodge the rebels. A second Perm OMON column of 107 troops was then sent to the rescue from the Interior Ministry base in Vedeno, but was itself attacked by more rebels on Height 817, located from the ambush site. At least three (or six) troops in the relief column were killed and 15 wounded before the relief mission was called off. Radio contact with the trapped convoy was lost at 2:30 pm. Some injured Russians killed themselves with their own grenades, eleven were captured, while five managed to hide or escape.〔〔〔〔
