Salautdin Temirbulatov, believed to be one of the most brutal Chechen terrorists, is on trial before the Supreme Court of Kabardino-Balkaria (a republic in the North Caucasus). Temirbulatov was involved in the execution of Russian captives and in abducting people to ransom. He was caught by police near the hamlet of Duba-Yurt in Chechnya last March. He is facing three dozen charges, including murder, kidnapping, banditry, extortion, and engagement in illegal armed groups. Public Prosecutor Vladimir Kravchenko has called on the judges to sentence Temirbulatov to capital punishment.
Another mad dog Chechen terrorist, if the sort the Washington Post was until recently describing as freedom fighters. Russia will be much better off without him. |
