The guerrillas have long been prepared for such a twist of fate. The pictures of the half-naked body of slain Icherian President Sadullayev which were shown on Russian television channels testify once again to the impotent rage of the Russian military and the representatives of the Moscow-backed Chechen leadership about the fact that they could not manage to take him alive. Sadullayev is the fifth Chechen leader to die a violent ... >> full

Yelena Kulikova of the WWF said that the dense mountain forests of war-torn Chechnya and other republics in the North Caucasus are "also in danger because of illegal logging."

But over that period he succeeded in formalizing the organizational and logistical framework to expand the war into other North Caucasus republics. The resistance website chechenpress.org claimed on June 17 that under Sadulayev the resistance forces did not perpetrate a single attack on a civilian target that could substantiate the Russian argument that the resistance are "terrorists." Sadulayev's predecessor Aslan Maskhadov consistently forbade the fighters subordinate to him either to target civilians or to extend hostilities beyond Chechnya's borders. Sadulayev, by contrast, issued ... >> full
