BERLIN (Reuters) - The suspect detained over the killing last week of a Georgian citizen in Berlin had a passport whose number linked him to Russian security services, German magazine Der Spiegel reported on Friday.

Zelimkhan Khangoshvili, who had previously fought alongside anti-Moscow separatists in the province of Chechnya, was shot twice in the head last Friday as he headed through a central Berlin park to the mosque.

If confirmed, the report could add to problems between the European Union and Moscow, which are already at odds over the apparent murder attempt against a Russian defector in Britain last year.

LOL. Putin just can't help himself and kills another now-harmless has been everytime his foreign situation is about to normalize. /s On a better side Euro media now has the Russian bogeyman back to distract from Islamic takeover.

You really don’t know the whole story. In some cultures, if you allow a crime go unpunished or do not obtain justice for some horrendous act, you realize that the situation remaining unresolved is likely to happen again. Imagine that this man while in Chechnya managed to effectuate some terrorist activity where Russian state security personnel or other Russians were killed. He is never caught and he becomes a legend and inspiration to his associates and people like him. Now the Russians discover that he is leading the good life in Germany. From the Russian perspective, they did what they had to do. Its not how its done in the West. Of course the man could have been a simple refugee seeking solace and peace. Or you believe the Russians obtained justice and sent a message.

He was a nice gentleman, a good friend of Zbig Brzezinsky and former Georgian president Saakashvili. The picture tells it all. The body is back in Georgia for burial. Were US dept of state officials present at funerals?

I hope my unspoken comments regarding our own anarchists are taken as unspoken.

I’m not going to cry over the Russkies picking off an islamofascist terrorist. I don’t particularly care where they do it. Why was this goateffer allowed to enter Germany in the first place?

Indeed, like the poor *ex-Russian KGB journalist* who mistook Polonium-210 for salt in a London restaurant. A former Chechnyan agent, he was buried as a muslum, though his MI6 babysitter Christopher Steel wasn't present to conduct the services.

I don’t believe this guy was killed by the Russian government either.
