Since masterminding the hostage-taking in the south Russian town of Budennovsk in the summer of 1995, radical Chechen field commander Shamil Basaev has claimed responsibility for a series of terrorist acts that have claimed hundreds of Russian lives. His ill-fated incursion into Daghestan in August 1999 in the wake of an unsuccessful attempt to sideline Chechen President Aslan Maskahdov served as the rationale for the Russian leadership to launch its second war against Chechnya in October of that year under the pretext of combating terrorism...although Basaev is routinely reviled by leading Russian politicians and has been designated an international terrorist by the U.S., the Russian military have for five years failed to apprehend him.

Crush 'em. It's coming. Russian troops are not very nice. They don't care about collateral damage.

Shamil Basaev is an evil man who invited Arab terrorirsts in the Chechenya, attempting to apply government style like Afghanistan under Taliban. However, we should also not forget Russia Empire opposed Iraq War, helping Saddam Hussein to transport WMD to Syria. After we provide help for the Russian Empire to assassinate Basaev, we should allow Chehcen their land and teach them democracy, just like we did in Afghanistan and Iraq.

'Ol peg leg hides and lets others fight. All his friends are dead. He is out of the country, Turkey last time I checked. If he doesn't slice his throat before the Russians get him, I hope they make him die a slow painful death.

Looks like a huge power struggle between a corrupt Russian govt. infested by the Russian mob and a group of "nice-guy terrorists" (if there is such a thing)who have no qualms whatsoever about taking 1,000 kids hostage. What's going on in that part of the world anyway?
