#1 Looks like they got him:
Russia's NTV television showed a bearded corpse lying almost fully covered by a black plastic sheet on a metal table, as medical and military officers looked on. "We can say today with certainty that this is Gelayev's corpse. There is a wound on the leg that we knew about," said Sergei Ignatchenko, the main spokesman for the FSB, a successor agency to the Soviet KGB security force. "He also had with him his dagger, which we know he would never leave behind," he told Russian television channels. There was no confirmation or denial of the death from separatist news sources. Kommersant newspaper reported he was killed by border guards who recognized him as he was visiting his home village.
