“Report: Russian forces kill Chechen rebel leader”
Published: 06.08.09, 17:47 / Israel News
SNIPPET: “Russian forces have killed the leader of the Chechen separatist movement, Doku Umarov, Interfax news agency cited an unidentified source in Russian law enforcement agencies as saying on Monday.”
Did you mean to post this?
Didn’t Mace Windu kill him already?
Hopelessly vague post *ping*
Kadyrov said the operation against Umarov was commanded by one of his presidential advisers, Adam Delimkhanov, who is wanted by Dubai in connection with the assassination of a former Chechen military commander there. "We have information that Doku Umarov was badly wounded as part of a special operation conducted by Adam Delimkhanov," Kadyrov said, according to his spokesman. "The bodies of four rebels were found at the scene," Kadyrov said. - Reuters
The former Chechen commander whom stae duma member Adam Delimkhanov allegedly assassinated in Dubai was "Hero of Russia" Sulim Yamadayev. Funny thing is... There are also questions about whether Yamadayev is really dead as well...
Brother says Yamadayev alive, vows revenge on Chechen leader - May 13, 2009 - The Russian consul general in Dubai, Sergei Krasnogor, said: "Dubai police officials, including the police chief, have repeatedly confirmed to me that Sulim Yamadayev had been killed and buried at a local cemetery." Russian diplomats earlier acknowledged they had not been provided with documentary evidence of Sulim's death.

Islamists claim killing of Russian priest
France24 ^ | 26 December 2009 | Staff
Posted on December 25, 2009 11:34:31 PM PST by csvset
An Islamist militant group based in Russia’s North Caucases has claimed the killing last month of an Orthodox priest who was an outspoken critic of Islam.
“One of our brothers who has never been to the Caucases took up the oath of (former independent Chechen president Doku Umarov) and expressed his desire to execute the damned Sysoyev,” said a statement on the Kavkazcenter.com website.
Daniil Sysoyev, 35, was killed on November 20 when masked gunman walked into Saint Thomas’s church in southern Moscow and shot him four times.
Doku Umarov emerged as the leader of the remaining active rebel movements in the North Caucases in 2007 and is considered enemy number one in the region by Russian authorities.
The statement on the Kavkazcenter.com website, which is often used by militants, accused Sysoyev of writing several pamphlets insulting Islam.
It warned “those in the future who defame Islam and insult the religion of Allah will suffer the fate as Sysoyev.”
Sysoyev, who was criticised by Muslim organisations for his statements on Islam, had reportedly contacted Russian security services several times over threats.

SNIPPET: “Doku Umarov, the leader of the al Qaeda-linked Islamic Caucasus Emirate in southern Russia, has announced his successor as well as the new governor of Chechnya. From the Caucasus Emirate’s mouthpiece, Kavkaz Center:
Emir of the Caucasus Emirate Dokku Abu Usman has officially announced the appointment as his deputy (naib) and future successor, case of his death, the commander of the Eastern Front of the Armed Forces of the Caucasus Emirate Emir Aslambek (Aslambek Vadalov).
In a special message sent to commanders and governors of the provinces of the Caucasus Emirate, Dokku Abu Usman indicated that he took this decision after careful consideration, in connection with the importance of succession of power and the need to be ready for any situation.
Emir of the Caucasus Emirate urged Mujahideen to accept his choice and emphasized that in case of his death, commanders of the Mujahideen and governors of provinces of the Caucasus Emirate should pledge bayat (oath) to Emir Aslambek and obey him as long as long as Emir Aslambek obeys Sharia of Allah and adheres to Sunnah of Prophet Muhammad (pbuh).”

Militants from Russia’s North Caucasus join “jihad” in Syria
reuters ^ | Mar 6, 2013 | Thomas Grove and Mariam Karouny
Posted on March 7, 2013 10:46:57 AM PST by Mount Athos
Flanked by almost 20 men with rifles, Omar Abu al-Chechen kneels on a carpet and delivers a rousing speech urging fellow Muslims to support the ‘jihad’ against Syrian President Bashar al-Assad.
Dressed almost entirely in black, the militant from Russia’s Chechnya region declares an Islamist state is within reach. Fellow fighters from the brigade of foreign militants he leads translate his Russian words into Arabic.
“Jihad needs very many things. Firstly it needs money. Much is dependent on money today for jihad,” said al-Chechen, his nomme de guerre, the leader of what rebels and websites call the Brigade of Migrants, an opposition group of foreign fighters.
“(We) have missed many chances, but truly today there is a chance to establish (an Islamic state) on Earth,” he said.
Syrian rebels confirmed separately that he is in Syria and the leader of the brigade.
One Syrian opposition source said the Chechens are the second biggest force of foreigners after Libyans who joined the Syrian uprising after overthrowing and killing Muammar Gaddafi.
A rebel source said 17 fighters from the North Caucasus were killed in fighting outside Aleppo last month.
Calling itself the Caucasus Emirate, Umarov’s Islamist militant group has promised to attack the [Winter Olympic] Games. It claimed responsibility for a suicide bombing at Moscow’s Domodedovo airport in January 2011 that killed 37 people and also said it was behind near-simultaneous suicide bombings in the Moscow subway that killed 40 people in 2010.

“Place Your Bets: Is Dokka Umarov Dead?”
SNIPPET: “Chechen Head Ramzan Kadyrov has set off a flurry of speculation over whether his nemesis – and leader of the Caucasus Emirate (IK) movement that is designated by both Russian and US governments as a terrorist organisation — Dokka Umarov is dead or alive. But, ultimately, Kadyrov is the boy who cried wolf, and absent either a body or confirmation from one of the IK’s “official” websites, few are prepared to accept his claims at face value.”
SNIPPET: “Kadyrov has declared Umarov dead many times before.”
