An attack on former Chechen president Zelimkhan Yandarbiyev, which took place in Quatar on Friday may be connected with an internal feud among the Chechen separatist leaders and their sponsors, the Interfax news agency has reported, citing comments by a source in Russia's law enforcement bodies. ''Yandarbiyev was aware of the transfers made from abroad to the Chechen bandit formations. Today, as the situation has changed, many foreign sponsors change their attitude to financing Chechen rebels and witness like Yandarbiyev are simply dangerous for them,'' the source said. Zelimkhan Yandarbiyev died on Friday, a short time after his car was destroyed by a bomb blast in Quatar's capital Doha.
