They are muslim terrorists!
They're not rebels, they are " Terrorists" !!!!
They could pass the hat, and I'll bet even in this country, they could double the bounty. Of course, France and Germany would be appalled, which is their right.
Still, I wish the BBS et al would at least learn the English language well enough to report on things like these. Monsters who rape and kill babies are not "rebels"--they're terrorists. "Monsters" would also apply.
May Basayev be caught quickly and easily.
Good News.
"However, this does not mean that we will launch nuclear strikes."
Bad News.
They are Muslim Baby Killers.
Basayev was a paratrooper in the Soviet Army, and trained as a special operative by GRU under the Russian Ministry of Defense and worked for the Russians in Abkhazia. Later he went back to Chechnya and did the same thing. He is the creation of Moscow. Read more about him here http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1207097/posts?page=78#78
Someone in Moscow has included Aslan Maskhadov in this hunt. As always the Russians are increasing the problems instead of solving them. In the end they need to find a political solution, thus they need Maskhadov.
However, Basayev and his Salafist friends can be terminated.
The corrupt, incompetent Russian bureaucracy has wested interests in a continuation of the war in Chechnya. There is a lot of money involved. My guess is that they will continue to kill the moderate leaders in Chechnya and thus increase the support and influence of the Wahhabis that have hijacked the century long opposition to Russia in the region. Exactly what the Saudi supported terrorists have on their agenda.
Read a 4 year old article about Maskhadov.

I will probably get opposition from the Russian/Serbian Orthodox part of the FR. Wait and see.
