Prosecutors have asked a military court in Russia to sentence two alleged members of the late Chechen field commander Shamil Basayev's group to 24 years in prison each over their alleged participation in a terrorist attack in Chechnya in 2005. Nazhmudin Dudiyev and Ibragim Donashev are currently serving prison terms of 18 and 19 years respectively for taking part in a deadly attack in 2000 on Russian riot police in Chechnya.
