#1 DEBKAfile reveals all: Assassination of Abu al-Walid al Ghamdi, Saudi al Qaeda commander in Chechnya, was carried out by Russian intelligence agent planted in al-Ghamdiâs HQ. This report from Russian sources is denied by circle close to Chechen rebel leader Maskhadov. Putin informed Bush of death of "Emir al-Walid" who dispatched a Chechen contingent to fight alongside insurgents in Iraqâs Sunni Triangle, especially Fallujah, and selected al Qaeda Saudi and Gulf units to fight Americans in Iraq. Al-Ghamdiâs disappearance is dual blow to al Qaedaâs Iraq operation lraq and dominant role in Chechen revolt

Gee, Russians assassinating Chechen terrorist leaders, now where have I heard that before?

#2 The Russian secret services have declined to comment on the media reports

Bragging isn't polite.

Thanks for the liquidation, Vlad.

#3 Remind me again? What was Moscow's take on Yassin and Rantissi getting their "hellfire hello"?

... dispatched a Chechen contingent to fight alongside insurgents in Iraqâs Sunni Triangle, especially Fallujah

After the Soviet Union fell apart, the Chechens wasted their nation's great opportunity to obtain independence through peaceful political action. They allowed their nation's gangsters and Islamic fanatics to determine their fate.

The Chechens could have made the USA a great and powerful supporter of their independence movement. Instead, many of them have actively joined our own country's worst enemies to fight against us.
