Chechen Terror Leader Killed by Car Bomb (The Scotsman, 2/13/04)
Former Chechen President Zelimkhan Yandarbiyev, who has been linked to al-Qaida and was accused by Russia of maintaining international terrorist ties, was killed today after his car exploded in the Qatari capital Doha.
An official at the Qatari interior ministry said the explosion killed Yandarbiyev and injured his 13-year-old son.A doctor at Hamad General Hospital said Yandarbiyev died from his injuries on his way to the hospital. Yandarbiyev’s son was in a critical condition.
The doctor said they were the only two people brought to the Hamad General Hospital, but a hospital official had said earlier that two bodyguards were dead on arrival.
The Russian Embassy had no immediate comment.

Interesting article; however, there is a link to another Russian story. The guy who is running against Putin now claims that he was kidnapped, drugged and filmed when he went missing for five days last week. Strange stuff.

Posted by: oj at February 13, 2004 1:27 PMI wonder how many horses have been decapitated in Russia lately. Putin has obviously been viewing too many Godfather movies.
