Chechens? Betcha. Chechens are really bad guys, and Russia is perfectly justified in killing as many of them as it can lay hands on. Question now becomes: Does it tie to al-Qaeda? They're busy at the moment, so our guess would be not. Does it coordinate with al-Qaeda's aims? Answer to that would be yes, which means that Saudi claims that Osama bin Laden's not at the top of the pyramid are likely true. Making that even more probable is the fact that we now have a three-front terror offensive: Israel/Palestine, Afghanistan, and India. Fish out some coordination among them besides timing and "probably" becomes "certainly." Dead Chechen mercenaries might do that, with a bit of investigation. So instead of Osama bin Laden, the puppetmaster becomes X (Dr. Fu Manchu? Ernst Stavro Blofeld? Boskone?) and rather than being directed at Iraq or Somalia our efforts -- and those of our allies, to include the Indians -- have to be directed at finding the next link up. And another guess is that at least one of those links up, and probably the top one, will be found in Arabia. |
