GROZNY, Russia, Nov. 18 (UPI) -- Russian officials say that army commandos raided an al-Qaida headquarters in Chechnya, killing one of the group's leaders.

Gen. Arkady Yedelev, head of anti-terrorist operations in the North Caucasus, told reporters Friday that the dead man, identified as Jaber, was the organizer and financier of a recent major terrorist attack, Itar-Tass reported. Jaber allegedly headed a group of foreign fighters who began smuggling militants into Russia from Georgia's Pankisi Gorge in 2001.

Jaber reportedly was behind attacks in Grozny, the Chechen capital, and in villages that were aimed at disrupting the republic before its parliamentary elections.
