Russia Says Kills Last Militant Linked To Moscow Metro Bomb

[Jpost] Russia said on Wednesday it had killed the last surviving North Caucasus bad turban wanted for organizing twin bombings on the Moscow metro that killed 40 people in 2010.

Moscow is fighting an Islamist insurgency in the mountainous North Caucasus more than a decade since it re-established federal control over Chechnya after two separatist wars.

Almost daily violence is reported in the volatile region, but snuffies have also struck the Russian heartland, claiming responsibility for a suicide kaboom that killed 37 at Moscow's busiest airport in 2011 and the metro bombings in 2010.

"Until today, Gusen Magomedov was the last remaining participant directly involved in the organization and carrying out of terrorist attacks on the Moscow metro in March, 2010," Russia's anti-terrorist committee said.

#1 I'm guessing Gusen's life since March 2010 hasn't been all that nice, what with the Russian security forces hot on his heels.

#3 Killed or captured and tortured until he was out of useful information.

The Russians have interrogation techniques that would make alarm a Pakistani ISI officer.
