Isn't this guy responsible for the Beslan carnage? I think it is time to "hit" him if he comes into public life. A terrorist is a terrorist no matter what or where he is- in public or in hiding and so he should be destroyed before another Beslan happens in the name of Jihad.

Yes, he is.

I think that Kremlin doesn’t really want to catch him. From my observations they prefer to have a mythological enemy instead of kill that bastard.

[AdmSmith]

Yes, and by killing Maskhadov they got what was expected.

[Lukasz]

Exactly, funny how easily they killed Maskhadov when they decided to do so while Basaev is still free despite that he married some unknown women somewhere in Russia.

[Lukasz]

and what else you expected? Everything is correct according to their plans.

[lizol]

By "they" you mean Russian authorities probably?

Well - I don't think, that Basayev or anyone else from the Chechen rebel government asked Russians for a permission here.

The "government" is in exile with both us and the British giving assylum to various "ministers". What's interesting is this is actually a demotion for Basyov, who was Prime Minister under Mashkodov and was the man who launched two invasions of the neighboring province of Daghistan and thus sparked the second war.

Yeah, it only took four years, very easily. God, but you sound just like our leftists and the French on the issue of Bin Ladin. Reading down the posts, I was wondering how long it would take you to start the negative slant, not long.

[sergey1973]

Folks--before starting another useless brawl, let's remember a simple thing. Those who take kids as hostages in Beslan or Moscow Theatre are terrorists. Those who blew up airlines with passangers on board are terrorists. I don't care how noble or ignoble their goals are--if you deliberately attack innocent people you no longer a rebel or insurgent--you are terrorist.

Definitely, Basayev and other Chechen warlords terror is no excuse for despicable behavior of various Russian Federal/pro-Federal units (like that of Kadyrov or Yamadaev). When citizens of Chechnya are arbitrarily kidpanned and either murdered or released for ransom to their relatives often physically harmed, that means the lines between terrorists and legitimate authorities has been blurred. But terror is a terror and there can't be no excuse for this.

I am too upset with all this things going on. Ate fore GROM would take care of him very quickly; this is outrageous; what has happened to Russian special forces they can finish this monster once and for all; Who is playing cards with people should I ask?”

I’m sorry for you if you don’t see the difference between rich Bin Laden chief of Al Quaida and dirty Chechen Basaev. Basaev is moving around the North Caucasus and Russia like a king but Kremlin is unable to catch him!

And what, Bin Laden is living in a palace? Have you ever seen the Caucus Mountains? Considering he crosses into Pankisy at will, you could drop the Mongol Horde into Pankisy and never see them.

[Lukasz]

Bin Laden may be everywhere and Basaev sitting all the time in Chechen neighborhood.

[Honorary Serb]

Yeah, the terrorist butcher and child-murderer Basayev is in the Chechen "government".

At the same time, the Kosovo "government" is infested with KLA terrorist butchers!!!!

[Romanov]

You arm-chair strategists/conspiracy theorists never fail to amaze me. Sure, the Russian government really wants Basaev to roam free able to strike at will (/SARCASM). Explain to me, oh great theorist, exactly why the Russians, who are worried about factionalism in the rest of the Russian Federation (Tatarstan, Kalmykia, Buryatia,etc.) would want to be seen as inept and unable to quash a mutinous republic? This sort of "logic" boggles the mind.
