A Chechen man was shot dead in Dubai on Saturday in what police said appeared to be a political killing. "It looks like an assassination," Dubai police chief Dhahi Khalfan told the state news agency WAM. Suleyman Madov had been "subjected to close monitoring" before being shot in the parking lot of the building where he lived, Khalfan said. Three Chechens have been slain in the last six months in Istanbul and one in Vienna.
