| Russia says Chechen was not beaten |
| 2002-12-16 |
| The Russian authorities say no violence was used against the prominent Chechen separatist rebel commander, Salman Raduyev, who died in prison on Sunday. Deputy Justice Minister Yuri Kalinin denied Russian media reports that Raduyev had been beaten to death. He said the commander died of internal bleeding which might have been caused by the many medical complaints he suffered from. Snicker. |

| #2 Salman had actually been head shot once before, when he was footloose and fancy-free. That was one of those assassination attempts against him that almost worked. He needed reconstructive surgery for his face - his doctors made him sign an agreement that there wouldn't be an repercussions if it didn't work. I'd guess that there might have been either a bit of old ordnance or a bloodclot, or both, rattling around inside his skull. A single thump on the head might have been enough to have him cavorting with flat-chested 12-year-olds. |
