Shamil Basayev reported dead - again |
2005-10-13 |
![]() Sounds pretty far-fetched to me. They weren't trying to sieze the airport, they were attacking government buildings. But the seizure of the airport failed and the group of rebels led by Basayev was surrounded. To divert the attention of the Russian military, another group of rebels launched attacks on government buildings and Russian army units, but Basayev and his comrades were nevertheless killed, the source said. Sounds like typical Russian wishful thinking. The General Staff says, however, it does not have information about involvement of Basayev in the raid. Haven't they killed this guy 3 or 4 times by now? |
