Chechen bastard Basayev Killed in Southern Russia
Russia’s most wanted man, Chechen rebel leader Shamil Basayev, has been killed, the country’s state security chief has told President Vladimir Putin, Itar-Tass news agency said on Monday.
Basayev, who claimed responsibility for the 2004 Beslan school attack in which more than 330 died, half of them children, and a string of other attacks, was killed together with other Chechen fighters, Nikolai Patrushev told Putin.
The announcement came only a couple of weeks after Shamil Basayev, wanted by Russia for a string of shocking terrorist attacks, was named by Doku Umarov, president of the self-styled Ichkeria (Chechnya) as his vice president in a move seen as a signal towards radicalization of the Chechen rebel movement.
Doku Umarov Umarov took over as Chechnya’s new separatist leader earlier this month after police killed Abdul-Khalim Sadulayev during a raid in an eastern Chechen town. In his first public statement in June Umarov vowed to widen attacks to the rest of Russia, saying rebel forces would focus on military and police targets but would avoid attacks against most civilians.
That statement appeared to signal an effort to avoid terrorist attacks such as the September 2004 Beslan school hostage taking, in which 331 people died, more than half of them children. Basayev claimed responsibility for that attack, which shocked Russia and divided the rebel movement, since civilians, including women and children, were among those primarily taken hostage.
When Russian troops pulled out of Chechnya in 1996 and Chechnya prepared to elect a president to lead it to de facto independence, Basayev ran for the job. He lost to the late rebel commander Aslan Maskhadov and became his deputy. He and Maskhadov — a relative moderate who was Sadulayev’s predecessor as Chechen rebel president — later became rivals.
Russian forces and their local Chechen allies have been battling separatist militants for most of the past 12 years. The rebel movement has become increasingly drawn to radical Islam, but insists it is only fighting for independence. Most large-scale fighting has ended in Chechnya, but rebels continue to stage regular hit-and-run raids and detonate land mines and explosives, and the insurgency has spread to other parts of the mainly Muslim North Caucasus region.

I just hope he is really dead this time. They said about Basaev's death 2 or 3 times as I remember. Though... Basaev is just a man, one man has gone another man comes on his place. Putin should destroy the terrorist's system for winning such as their camps in Georgia, Berezovsky in London, kavkaz.org and so on... IMHO the news is not so important... Хрен с ним, с этим Басаевым...

Shamil wasn't pleasant, but his crimes in the North Caucasus pale next to those of this Russian administration. And to give him his due, at least Basayev transcended the sort of lazybrained internet sheetkicking like what you peddle, DDT.

Let's just say the best of me has been moderated away.
Why is it kosher for you to wish Basayev a slow death, but not for me to wish you one? Is this forum out to reproduce in microcosm the prevailing conditions of Putin's Russia?

I think 'marginalizing' is the wrong word. I'd say 'contextualizing'.
