Basayev nearly busted, fake leg seized
2005-04-15
Illegal armed units cannot change the Chechen situation, First Deputy Prime Minister Ramzan Kadyrov told Interfax. "If this summer is hot, we will go on vacation to Sochi. There is nothing that can influence the situation in Chechnya," he said. "The Chechen president's security service and law enforcement departments have nearly caught Shamil Basayev. We have his personal weapon and the German-made prosthetic appliance he left behind in his escape. We have given his prosthetic appliance to a handicapped man," Kadyrov said.

#7  Your Jihadist street credibility goes up if you're missing a leg, an eye, a hand or half your brains.

#2  Everybody in Chechnya's a comedian and thug it seems. I'd love to see crazed Ramzan's pack catch Basayev by his only remaining bigt toe! Maybe they could get him to sign over the royalties from Basayev's latest tome "The Book of a Mujhadid(sp)".
