| 2004-09-21 |
| The Federal Security Service is receiving information about possible whereabouts of Chechen terrorist co-leader Shamil Basayev, representative of the regional headquarters for the anti-terrorist campaign in the North Caucasus, Maj. Gen. Ilya Shabalkin, told Interfax on Monday. "The Russian Federal Security Service has received several reports on possible locations of persons who looked like Basayev. Some of the reports came from places outside the Chechen Republic," he said. The information is being verified, Shabalkin said. |

| #3 I'll be surprised is they get Basayev any time soon. He's been around for 15 years. Maskadov's role is sugar-coated in the Washington Post, but he's the Gerry Adams to Basayev's IRA. |

| #2 Chechen terrorist co-leader Shamil Basayev, Coleader? They mean Maskadov as other co-leader? Is Maskadovs role not a matter of controversy, at least outside of Russia? |

| #1 Shamil Basayev, I give him a shelf life of less than a month. Of course, even if they catch/kill him tomorrow, it will be at least 3 months before we hear about it. |
