    • Russian Troops Kill Leader of Chechen Separatists

      Posted by Billbar from New York Times

      The leader, Abdul Khalim Saidullayev, died in a raid in a Chechen village in which two Russian officers were also killed. "The terrorists have been virtually decapitated," Prime Minister Ramzan A. Kadyrov, the leader of Chechnya's pro-Moscow government, told the Interfax news agency in the regional capital, Grozny.
