Concerning "Allah's Suitcase" being opened in Moscow...
This is a conclusion reached on this end of what will likely occur in the near future -- drawn from analyzing the following three conditions...
First, is the man himself -- Shamil Basayev. He has vowed a holy oath before Allah (quoting certain technical Islamic tenets that in essence jeopardize his afterlife if he fails) that he will kill Putin unless Russia withdraws from Chechnya. Perhaps he decides to use a less dramatic method to remove the ex-KGB thug -- perhaps not...
Second is the knowledge that Shamil Basayev has a MAN-P nuclear device. As mentioned once before somewhere, these devices (three I believe) have reached al Qaeda from Chechnya (then on to Baku, and from there disappearing across the Caspian Sea).
If you want one of these devices from the Russian mafia you have to go through the Chechens -- I don't think this is any secret...
Finally, there is Mr D's report to some of your pals about his visit that way about a year ago. Apparently some of President Maskhadov's leadership discussed this scenario with him and requested him to kriegspiel a political and military simulation of a suitcase nuclear explosion in Moscow that decapitated the Russian government in conjunction with an insurgent seizure by coup de main of Grozny or Gudermes.
Am I predicting a nuclear explosion in Moscow? Hard to say... After analyzing what I know about the above three conditions, do I believe it will happen?
Absolutely...
Can I give you a grid coordinate for the greatest fighter on the face of this earth? Afraid not, and I'm happy not to know his location. But I imagine he's a lot farther North than Putin feels comfortable with...
The ex-KGB thug a dead man walking...
Dry is good and wind is better...
The forces of freedom on the move. Europe trembles.

Your words - choke on 'em.
And feel free to address this whenever you can get around to working up a likely story.
