Chechen Warlord Basayev Killed in Southern Russia
 
MosNews
 Russia’s most wanted man, Chechen rebel leader Shamil Basayev, has been
killed, the country’s state security chief has told President Vladimir
Putin, Itar-Tass news agency said on Monday.
Basayev, who claimed responsibility for the 2004 Beslan school attack in
which more than 330 died, half of them children, and a string of other
attacks, was killed together with other Chechen fighters, Nikolai
Patrushev told Putin.
The announcement came only a couple of weeks after Shamil Basayev, wanted
by Russia for a string of shocking terrorist attacks, was named by Doku
Umarov, president of the self-styled Ichkeria (Chechnya) as his vice
president in a move seen as a signal towards radicalization of the Chechen
rebel movement. 
Doku Umarov Umarov took over as Chechnya’s new separatist leader earlier
this month after police killed Abdul-Khalim Sadulayev during a raid in an
eastern Chechen town. In his first public statement in June Umarov vowed
to widen attacks to the rest of Russia, saying rebel forces would focus on
military and police targets but would avoid attacks against most civilians.
That statement appeared to signal an effort to avoid terrorist attacks
such as the September 2004 Beslan school hostage taking, in which 331
people died, more than half of them children. Basayev claimed
responsibility for that attack, which shocked Russia and divided the rebel
movement, since civilians, including women and children, were among those
primarily taken hostage.
When Russian troops pulled out of Chechnya in 1996 and Chechnya prepared
to elect a president to lead it to de facto independence, Basayev ran for
the job. He lost to the late rebel commander Aslan Maskhadov and became
his deputy. He and Maskhadov — a relative moderate who was Sadulayev’s
predecessor as Chechen rebel president — later became rivals.
Russian forces and their local Chechen allies have been battling
separatist militants for most of the past 12 years. The rebel movement has
become increasingly drawn to radical Islam, but insists it is only
fighting for independence. Most large-scale fighting has ended in
Chechnya, but rebels continue to stage regular hit-and-run raids and
detonate land mines and explosives, and the insurgency has spread to other
parts of the mainly Muslim North Caucasus region

Lei che ne pensa Doktor Pangloss?

 Lei che ne pensa Doktor Pangloss?
Mah, a mio ponderato giudizio il gia' fragile equilibrio del soggetto
e' stato inevitabilmente compromesso dal cumulo della gioia per la
vittoria del'Unione alle elezioni politiche ed amministrative con
quella per la vittoria al referendum e, ultima ma non meno importante,
dell'Italia ai mondiali. In poche parole e' andato.
