#3 Hasn't he been dead before? Maybe we need the '24 hour rule' to apply here?

#4 Just checked again. Still no photos of the corpse. Maybe they're waiting for the frame to be made up. Hopefully the vulture can stay up and the fat lady will follow.

#5 I doubt we'll see photos of the corpse if he was sitting in a truckload of dynamite when she blew...

#8 Hasn't he been dead before?

This time they ran a stake through his heart and then exposed the corpse to the sun.

#9 A year or two after Beslan I ragged on Russian Special Forces for failing to extract retribution for Beslan. I now stand corrected and wish to give credit where credit is due.

#10 Now they know which team to send to Iraq to TCB for those diplos.

#11 Doesn't look like a team did him in: More like a "transportation work accident", accompanied by the fender of the truck his car was following decapitating him after the truck ran too fast over a speed-bump or some such thing...

This is ironic on all kinds of levels: a truck packed with explosives ready to blow is a truck-bomb, thus he got killed by the very same tool used to murder innocent Iraqis.

And on top of that, he was DECAPITATED. no need to explain here the facination Islamists like him have with decapitating others, and he got decapitated himself.

No kudos seem to be in order: The ruskies were incredibly lucky that this terrorist's "technicians" were incredibly inept.

#12 Doesn't look like a team did him in:

Depends on how you define "accident"

The channel said the security service had "helped" blow up the truck.

Perhaps they wrote the instruction manual or slipped them a already ticking clock.

#13 It almost sound like the Ruskies found those responsible for the Baghdad diplomatic kidnapping. Coincidence or a connection?
