| Qatar sentences Russians to Life In Prison for topping Chechen ex-prez |
| 2004-06-30 |
| QATAR’S criminal court today sentenced two Russian intelligence agents to life in prison for the murder in Doha of a Chechen rebel leader last February and accused Moscow of involvement in the assassination. Judge Ibrahim Saleh al-Nisf jailed Anatoly Bilashkov and Vassily Pokchov for 25 years - the life term in Qatar - for killing of Zelimkhan Yandarbiyev, a former Chechen president who lived in exile in Doha, in February this year. Reading out the verdict during a brief public hearing, the judge accused the "Russian leadership" of being behind the killing. The umma sticks together |

| #3 Maybe the Russians will make the Qataris a deal they cannot refuse for release of the 2 Russians, real quiet-like. |

| #2 Expect some Qatari's to end up kidnapped in Russia. Odds on video's with Cossack sabres and verses from the Orthodox bible? |
