Russia kills Chechen insurgent leader
Security forces in Russia killed the leader of one of the rebel groups fighting to create an Islamist state in the North Caucasus and two other terrorists militants on Thursday, said Russia's anti-terrorism committee.

One law enforcement officer was killed and another injured in a gunfight with the terrorists militants in the Vedeno district. The dead leader, Adam Khushalayev, who had adopted the name Abu-Malik, had been wanted for over a decade, and had taken over as head of a insurgent group after its leaders were killed in January.

The leaders before him, the brothers Khuseyn and Muslim Gakayev, had been blamed for organizing several high-profile attacks, most recently a suicide bombing that killed four interior ministry soldiers last August.
