 Recipe for rabbit stew:
First, catch a rabbit... | The counter terrorist operation in Chechnya might be finished, if the leader of Chechen separatists Shamil Basayev is detained, Chechen First Vice Prime Minister Ramzan Kadyrov said. In this case "the war in Chechnya will be over 99%," he told Western reporters on Wednesday. "This man is very well financed, I will do my best to detain him," Kadyrov said.
Kadyrov denied the reports that Maskhadov had been killed by his forces in Khasavyurt and then moved to Tolstoy-yurt, where he was found and identified. "If this man had surrendered, everything would be different," Kadyrov said. "He was my mortal enemy and I regret that I couldn't detain him. If Maskhadov had been killed by my people, I would have declared it straight away," he said. |
