Dagestan War
The Dagestan War (in Russia called by the name Chechen invasion of Dagestan) began when Chechnya-based so-called Islamic International Peacekeeping Brigade (IIPB) militia led by warlords Shamil Basayev and Ibn al-Khattab invaded the neighbouring Russian republic of Dagestan on August 7 1999 in support of the Islamic Shura of Dagestan separatist rebels. The war ended with the retreat of the IIPB and was one of the triggers for the Second Chechen War.
