NAZRAN, Russia - A top judge in Russia's southern troubled province of Ingushetia who had led trials of Islamic rebels was shot dead on Sunday, local police said. Khasan Yandiyev, deputy head of Ingushetia's Supreme Court, was killed while changing a tyre on his car near the town of Karabulak, a regional interior ministry spokesman said. No one heard the shot, perhaps it was a sniper or assailants used a gun with silencer, he added saying that Yandiyev died of wounds in an ambulance car on the way to hospital. The spokesman said an investigation was under way, but could give no further details.

It's Russia. Of course he'll say no more.

Russian news agencies said earlier that Yandiyev, 51, was killed from an assault rifle. As a senior judge, Yandiyev has chaired trials of both Islamic rebels and corrupt officials, Russian media said.

#1 Ingushetia: Putin has the right formula [Chechnya] for the Islamics.

The Putian formula tho is pretty damn rough on the target population worth savin, as well as the target population that needs killin.
