Beslan Mastermind Shamil Basayev Killed

by John Little on 10/07/2006

I’ll have to pull the Stoli out of the freezer for this – after work of course:

The Chechen rebel leader who claimed responsibility for the Beslan school massacre and the Moscow theatre siege has been killed, Russian media reported today.

Russia’s Itar-Tass news agency reported that Shamil Basayev, who led the most violent wing of the Chechen separatist movement, had been killed overnight in the Russian republic of Ingushetia, to the west of Chechnya.

I am very glad that this bloodthirsty monster is dead, and gone! I hope that he and his buddy, Osama share a smoldering apartment in the fires of Hell!! My heart aches for the victims of these atrocities. I wish that Basayev’s mother had the courage to kill him inside the womb! If she had any brains at all, she and her dumb husband would have thrown away the baby, and kept the afterbirth!! ROT IN HELL, SHAMIL!!!
