Ramzan Kadyrov, the Kremlin-backed leader of Chechnya has said his dream is to eliminate Islamic insurgent leader Doku Umarov.
Kadyrov himself is no prize, but I won't shed a tear if he manages to whack Doku... | Speaking to journalists in the Chechen capital, Grozny, on May 28, Kadyrov said the search for Umarov continues but added he does not know whether Umarov is alive or not.
Kadyrov said that there are no longer militants in Chechnya's mountains, with the exception of some hiding along the border with Ingushetia. He also claimed that 30,000 former refugees returned to Chechnya last year. |
