Rappani Khalilov Wasted
2007-09-18
The body of Rappani Khalilov, one of most wanted militants, was found under the debris of a house, assaulted by special police forces on Monday. The operation took place in the suburbs of the town of Kizilyurt in the North Caucasian republic of Dagestan.

The firefight involving the use of heavy weapons and armour, lasted more than 12 hours, as the militants showed fierce resistance. The house where they had been hiding was destroyed during the fight.
"Vnimanie vsem!! Drop the house!"
"Tak tochno! Vypolnyayu srochno!"
[CRUMBLE!]
At least three militants are thought to have been killed during the operation. For the moment only two bodies have been found.
"Boris Vasil'evich! Either there are three bodies here, or one of these guys had two elbows!"
"Keep looking!"
One of them was identified as Rappani Khalilov, a major militant field commander. He was allegedly involved in organising and conducting a series of terrorist attacks across Russia, including the blast during the Victory Day military parade in the town of Kaspiysk in 2002, which left more than 40 people dead, and wounded another 130. The authorities call the killing of the militant commander a significant success, as it will reduce the number of terror acts in the country.
