nal investigation opened against A.M. They travelled in the personal Moskvich-412 car of driver Ilyas B.
9. Until about 2.30 p.m. the servicemen and Ilyas B. were in communication by radio with the military commander's office and with Ibragim B., Ilyas B.'s brother, who was also serving in the district military commandant's office. Then the radio connection was cut.
10. Five days later the first applicant went to the district military commander's office and enquired about Khasan Yusupov. She was told that he and his colleagues had left for an appointment at the military prosecutor's office of Khankala in connection with a criminal case pending against A.M.
11. On the following day the applicants went to the military prosecutor's office in Khankala and met investigator L., who told them that Khasan Yusupov and his colleagues had left his office on 15 November 2002 at around 3 p.m.
12. A taxi driver who had been parked next to the military prosecutor's office on the afternoon of 15 November 2002 told the applicants that Khasan Yusupov and some others had been taken by the authorities late in the afternoon to cars which had left for unknown destinations.

They stated that on 15 November 2002 Khasan Yusupov, two other servicemen of the district military commander's office and driver Ilyas B. had gone to Khankala, after which they disappeared.
