Russers just missed Maskhadov
Sounds like it's just a propaganda press release, but we can hope they occasionally get close to him. They've only got to be successful once...

Ichkeria.dk edition reported referring to its own sources inside President Maskhadovâs circle that last Saturday near the village of Shuani Russian Spetznaz (special forces) and a group of collaborators made an attempt to physically remove President of CRI (Chechen Republic of Ichkeria) Aslan Maskhadov.
| But missed. Dammit. But that's okay. They've only got to succeed once... |
It was reported that over a hundred Russian commandos and at least fifty national traitors from Yamadayevâs group tried to set up an ambush on the route of the movement of President of CRI and the unit of the Presidential Guard covering the movement.
| "There wuz 150 of 'em, all of 'em big guys..." |
CRI President A. Maskhadov and Commander of Presidential Guard A. Avdorkhanov were forewarned about the Russian plans and decided to conduct a sudden attack on the enemy.
| Ahah! Igor the Weasel, was it? |
At around 4:30 AM local time Chechen troops attacked the enemy by using grenade launchers, assault rifles with lower-barrel grenade launchers, and large-caliber machineguns. On the order of Commander-In-Chief of CRI Armed Forces A. Maskhadov, the Presidential Guard withdrew to the woodland in the mountain area of Nozhai-Yurt District after an hour-and-a-half-long intense shooting at the group of invaders and collaborators. The overall enemy casualties were about 30 killed and wounded.
| "Yeah! They wuz droppin' like flies!" |
The edition reported referring to the Chechen Command that President of CRI A. Maskhadov took active part in that battle: he eliminated five Russian invaders by an assault rifle point-blank. The casualties of Chechen Armed Forces in this battle were two killed and five wounded.
| "And they wuz just flesh wounds. The dead guys wuz just flesh dead, too..." |
