Russia's "bin Laden" Umarov may have been killed |
2011-03-29 |
Russian special forces may have killed Chechnya's top terrorism suspect, Doku Umarov, who claimed responsibility for the January bombing at Moscow's Domododevo airport, the Interfax news agency reported Tuesday. There was no official confirmation. Umarov is believed to have been among 17 suspected terrorists killed Monday in an attack on a terrorist training camp in Ingushetia in the volatile North Caucasus region. But he has been declared dead before. Islamist leaders and Umarov's bodyguard were among the dead, said the president of the Republic of Ingushetia, Yunus-Bek Yevkurov, but the bodies had not yet been identified. Three security force members were also killed in Monday's attack. |

#2 Doku Umarov is dead. Islamist leaders are dead and the bodyguard is dead. Most likely, Vladamir is looking for his wife, children, and dog too. |

#1 Yep, The Chechnian rebels still do not understand who they are dealing with. I bet ole Vladamir is using Umarov's head for a door stop right now. When the Russians confirm the killing of a terrorist, it usually means it was up close and personal. |
