GROZNY, March 24 (RIA Novosti) - Alvi Tosuyev, Maskhadov's closest assistant, has been killed in Chechnya, the joint press center of the Russian Interior Ministry reports.
"Tosuyev was killed in Berdikel (Komsomolskoye), outside Grozny," the press center reports.
Tosuyev was Maskhadov's personal bodyguard, and previously was the closest associate of Arab mercenary Abu Al-Walid who was also killed in Chechnya.
"Tosuyev known as Assad masterminded the terrorist attack against Kadyrov, the first vice premier of Chechnya," the press center said.
Sounds like the Russians have gotten their hands on some good intell lately.
Beslan was a very rude wake up call, I think. Since then the occassional success has turned into a flood. Well something had to snap.
There's a real shortage of virgins for dead Muslims right now, so they've instituted a draft. Helen Thomas has a low number!
I hear there's plenty of room inside!
Thank you and bump.
If he's just gonna get killed, made a hell of a poor bodyguard anyway.
