MOSCOW, November 18 (Itar-Tass) --A reconnaissance group of the special task force of the Chief Intelligence Agency (GRU) has destroyed physically three militants in Chechnya, including a mercenary from Turkey, a representative of the information and public relations department of the Russian Defence Ministry told Itar-Tass on Friday.

“A reconnaissance group of the GRU special task force detected and destroyed physically three militants near the village of Selmentauzen, Vedeno District, Chechnya, on November 18. They had with them fire arms, ammunition and communication facilities,” the Defence Ministry official said. “One of the militants had a Turkish passport on him (TRL series, No. 929660) to the name of Topli Sakhin, born on August 10, 1976. There are notes in the passport, which show that he legally crossed the Turkish-Georgian border on many occasions.

I love it when FSB "liquidates" terrorists. A fine ending for 'em!

How does anybody know the Turk is a mercenary? Did they find some pay stubs in his pocket?

I'd bet it's an err in translation, meaning he's just a dirtbag nomadic jihadie. He may also be part of some known Turkish merc group.

****They had with them fire arms, ammunition and communication facilities,”****

One of them had a pistol, with bullets in it, and a cell phone.

Chechnya and Iraq are the candle that draws these terroris to their destruction. Aslong as we fight there will will not see them in the US.
