A second U.S. official said the report is being investigated, but said it could not be determined whether the group of Chechens actually entered the country, as the intelligence source reported.
"We don't know whether or not that report is true," this official said.

White Chechens would probably just pass for Russians in the US. You can be sure they'd know english, it would be a pre-requisite for the "mission". So just a heavy Russian accent,

I love the part that says,"said to be wearing backpacks". Don't leave me in suspense! Were they wearing shoes? Matching hand-bags?
It's a couple of months old and nothing has happened yet.
I don't see any reason why Chechens would want to do anything to the US.
That doesn't help their case for independence.
