#1 Shamil Basayev,

I give him a shelf life of less than a month. Of course, even if they catch/kill him tomorrow, it will be at least 3 months before we hear about it.

#2 Chechen terrorist co-leader Shamil Basayev,

Coleader? They mean Maskadov as other co-leader? Is Maskadovs role not a matter of controversy, at least outside of Russia?

#3 I'll be surprised is they get Basayev any time soon. He's been around for 15 years.

Maskadov's role is sugar-coated in the Washington Post, but he's the Gerry Adams to Basayev's IRA.
