From: MSN NicknameEagle_wng (Original Message) Sent: 6/18/2006 11:07 PM Chechnya rebels appoint new leader after killing Nick Paton Walsh in Moscow Monday June 19, 2006 The Guardian Chechnya's beleaguered separatist movement has appointed an experienced militant commander, Doka Umarov, as its new president following the assassination of his predecessor whose bloodied corpse was put on display in his underpants by pro-Russian forces during the weekend. Mr Umarov has strong links to the Beslan mastermind and Russia's "terrorist number one" Shamil Basayev. As vice-president of "Ichkeria", the separatist movement's name for the once-independent republic of Chechnya, he was automatically elevated to the post of new president upon the death of Abdul-Khalim Saidulayev, 39, on Saturday. A hardened Chechen militant, Mr Umarov has evaded Russian forces for more than 10 years and is thought to have hundreds of fighters at his command. The appointment came hours after Saidulayev was shot dead by pro-Russian forces in the town of Argun. Saidulayev was ... >> full

From: MSN NicknameEagle_wng (Original Message) Sent: 6/18/2006 11:12 PM Abdul-Khalim Sadulayev Chechen separatist leader Published: 19 June 2006 Abdul-Khalim Abu-Salamovich Sadulayev, cleric and politician: born Argun, Soviet Union 1967; rebel president of Chechnya 2005-06; married; died Argun 17 June 2006. The lifespan of successive leaders of Chechnya's separatist rebels is growing ever shorter. Chosen in 2002 by Aslan Maskhadov to succeed him as president of the self-proclaimed Republic of Ichkeria in case of his death or kidnapping by Russian forces, Abdul- Khalim Sadulayev did not have long to wait. Russian forces killed Maskhadov in March 2005 and Sadulayev stepped from obscurity into the limelight. But like Maskhadov, he was killed in a fire-fight, both allegedly found after a traitor in their ranks betrayed them for cash (reportedly £30 in Sadulayev's case). The first two presidents - Dzhokhar Dudayev and Zelimkhan Yandarbiyev - had also been killed, as had Russia's own presidential nominee, the widely hated Akhmad ... >> full
