| An Arab mercenary has been eliminated in Chechnya, a Russian Federal Security Service (FSB) official said Sunday. "In the course of a joint special operation, FSB operatives and federal troops eliminated an Arab mercenary in Chechnya," the official said. According to the official, federal forces surrounded a militant group in the village of Avtury in the Shali district of Chechnya. Militants suffered losses in the ensuing gunfight and started to retreat to a nearby forest, leaving the body of the Arab mercenary, whose name had not been revealed in the interests of investigation. During the search of the body, operatives discovered extremist literature in Arabic, manuals on demolition techniques, a list of militant leaders' names and their possible whereabouts. Federal soldiers also discovered a hidden militant base, containing military supplies, civilian clothes, ammunition, radios, medical, food and water supplies, at the site of the gunfight. "The base was well prepared for winter and could accommodate up to 25 people," the official said. |

| #4 I hope we see the same thing happen to Islam that happened to the French following two world wars - their "best and brightest" were lost on the field of battle, and what was left was either those that couldn't fight, or those that wouldn't. It might slow down the massacre rate, if nothing else. |
