A Turkish mercenary was killed in a federal special operation in Chechnya's Vedeno district, a military spokesman told Interfax. "The man who was killed had a passport under the name of Turkish citizen Semek Yusif [transliterated from Russian] with a Georgian visa, opened on July 7, 2002; a card of the Turkish Taekwondo Federation, issued in February 1991; a lawyer's card, issued in February 1996; and other documents with Turkish entries," said spokesman Col. Ilya Shabalkin. A Kalashnikov and cartridges were discovered at the scene. "The circumstances of the Turkish citizen's stay in Russia are under investigation," Shabalkin said.
