#1 Yet another version of events by the FSB. How many different scenarios where they are the heroes are there?

Feh.

#2 Can I have his head?
I want to mount it on my wall.
Or is Putin already sending it out to be mounted.
I don't care how it was done. I just glad this monster is dead.
And I am glad to see they are finally referring to this piece of crap as a "terrorist leader" instead of a "separatist leader" or worse yet "Rebel Leader".

#3 They're desperate to claim it as one of their operations aren't they?

Not that it matters to me, the outcome is the same - the PoS is in bits and very very dead.

#4 'piece of crap' == 'PoS'

#5 Y'know, this story is a KGB-quality operation.

So, WTF the FSB has been doing since Sept 1, 2004? Especially after the much ballyhooed Putin statement about going medieval on the Chechnyans - and only having a few poor scape-goat-herders to show for the last 23 months...

1] It quiets the critics, internal and external

2] Face saver for Putin

3] Face-saver for the FSB

4] Lets them loot the FSB budget for $600K

5] Set precedent for future repeat raids on budget for party favors

Yep. That's the kind of disinformation you could expect of the old KGB.

#6 So is this a remote control mole or a martyr mole? Or do the Ruskies give out a posthumous mole award?

#7 Disinformation campaign. Suggest that a mole is there, after "dozens of calls", wheedled out of them by a persistent former comerade, lean back, and watch them off each other off.
