  FSB head Nikolai Patrushev told President Vladimir Putin that Basayev had 
been killed overnight in Ingushetia — a republic bordering Chechnya that was 
plagued by sporadic spillover violence from the separatist region. Patrushev's 
meeting with Putin was shown on Russian state television.
   
  Basayev, 41, claimed responsibility for some of Russia's worst terror 
attacks, including the seizure of some 800 hostages in a Moscow theater in 
2002, the 2004 school hostage taking in Beslan that killed 331, and the seizure 
of about 1,000 hostages at a hospital in Budyonnovsk that killed about 100.
   
  Patrushev told Putin that the Chechen rebels had hoped to "put political 
pressure on the Russian leadership" during the Group of Eight summit later this 
week, which Putin is chairing.
   
  Putin called Basayev's killing "deserved retribution" for terrorist attacks 
in Beslan and Budyonnovsk, the RIA-Novosti news agency reported.
   
  The attack on the Beslan school shocked Russia and divided the rebel 
movement, since civilians, including women and children, were taken hostage.
   
  Basayev was the boldest and most notorious of the Chechen warlords. Another 
rebel leader, Doku Umarov, pledged last month that rebels would step up their 
attacks against Russian forces.
   
  Patrushev said the operation to eliminate Basayev, in which many other rebels 
were killed, was "thanks to the operative position abroad, especially in those 
countries where arms were collected."
   
  Rebel-connected Web sites did not immediately comment on Patrushev's claim.
   
  Alu Alkhanov, president of the Kremlin-backed government in Chechnya, said 
the killing likely would undermine the Chechen rebel movement irreparably.
   
  "I consider that today can be considered the date of the logical end of the 
fight against illegal armed formations," he said, according to the news agency 
Interfax.

  Shamil Basayev is killed, official source says
   
  It is not the first time, when the Chechen warlord is said to be “killed”
   
  An official source confirmed rumors about the killing of infamous Chechen 
warlord Shamil Basayev. The terrorist was killed in an “incidental” shootout 
between Chechen and Arab hirelings, a high-ranking Abkhazian official said. 
   
  The above-mentioned armed clash took place in January. Shamil Basayev and his 
terrorists supposedly found themselves in the middle of a shootout between a 
group of Chechen gunmen and international mercenaries. The conflict reportedly 
occurred because of embezzlement of the funds assigned for “jihad.” 
   
  According to another version, Basayev was killed in one of ongoing 
never-ending battles with Russian federal troops. This version was particularly 
discussed in the Chechen diaspora of Azerbaijan, Utro.Ru reports. 
   
  Spokespeople for Russian special services were not rather enthusiastic in 
their comments regarding the killing of the Chechen terrorist. It was simply 
said that the information would have to be checked. It is worth mentioning that 
it is not the first time, when the Chechen warlord is said to be “killed.” 
Shamil Basayev has already managed to “resurrect” several times. 
   
  Deputy Chairman of the State Security Service of Abkhazia, Yuri Ashuba, has 
recently released another statement on the matter. “There are certain rumors 
about Basayev's death, although one may not say that they are widespread 
rumors. They can be heard from the people, who were in contact with Basayev 
during the war between Georgia and Abkhazia in 1992-1993,” the official said. 
   
  Ashuba also added that one of the terrorists' wives (she is of Abkhazian 
origin) reportedly learned about her husband's death from Chechnya at the end 
of January. According to Ashuba, there is another version about Basayev's 
death: Chechnya's prime terrorist supposedly died of a chronic kidney disease. 
   
  Shamil Basayev, has been charged with tens of terrorist acts committed on the 
territory of Russia. The Nord-Ost hostage crisis in the Moscow music theater 
was considered the most dreadful one of them, but the attack of the theatre 
paled in comparison with the tragedy in Beslan.

  Who is Shamil Basayev? Its a shame if we didnt know one of our commanders of 
mujahideen...
   
  
   
  Shamil Salmanovich Basayev (Russian: Øàìèëü Ñàëìàíîâè÷ Áàñàåâ) (January 14, 
1965 - July 10, 2006) was a Chechen separatist vice-president, guerrilla 
leader, self-admitted terrorist, and one of Chechnya's most famed contemporary 
national heroes. Since 2003, Basayev also used the pseudonym and title Abdallah 
Shamil Abu-Idris, Amir of the Brigade of Shahids 'Riyadus Salihiin'".
   
  Shamil Basayev was responsible for numerous guerilla attacks in and around 
Russia, made famous by the media were the Moscow theatre siege and the Beslan 
school siege, and was considered undisputed leader of the Chechen resistance. 
He was a recipient of the highest awards of the Chechen Republic of Ichkeria: 
"K'oman Siy" (honour of the nation) and "K'oman Turpal" (hero of the nation). 
He bore the title of Ichkerian Divisional General.
   
  
   
   
              Profile: Shamil Basayev 

      The fearsome rebel leader has been wanted by Russian authorities for 
years in connection with bloody attacks in Russia, including the Beslan school 
hostage siege in September 2004 which left at least 320 people dead.
   
  
             
  Russia has offered a $10m reward for the capture of Basayev

  Shamil Basayev, 41, had long threatened a series of "kamikaze" attacks inside 
Russia, arguing that Russian civilians were legitimate targets.        North 
Ossetian interior ministry spokesman Ismel Chaov has said of the Beslan siege: 
"You can assume it was Basayev, because Basayev is behind most of the terrorist 
acts."      He led the first Chechen mass hostage-taking in the southern 
Russian town of Budyonnovsk in 1995 and he claimed to have organised the 
seizing of a Moscow theatre in 2002, during which 129 people died.      He is 
believed to have been behind a stadium bomb attack in Chechnya's capital, 
Grozny, in May 2004, that killed Moscow-backed President Akhmad Kadyrov.     Mr 
Basayev is said to have organised a series of attacks on government buildings 
and police stations in neighbouring Ingushetia in June 2004, which left almost 
100 people dead.             Independence struggle        He has also boasted 
to have trained Chechen female suicide bombers - the
 infamous "Black Widows" brigade.      The fugitive warlord has vowed to fight 
the Russians at every opportunity and whatever the cost.                  The 
Chechen nation is involved in the national liberation struggle for its freedom 
and independence and for its preservation 


    Shamil Basayev

     "The Chechen nation is involved in the national liberation struggle for 
its freedom and independence and for its preservation," he said in a statement 
in September 2004.      "It is not fighting to humiliate Russia or destroy it. 
This world will sooner be set on fire than we refuse to fight for our freedom 
and independence."        He is suspected of having links with al-Qaeda 
operatives, although denies ever having met Osama bin Laden.        "I have not 
met Bin Laden. I received no money from him, but I would not have declined the 
offer," he said in the September statement.      He blamed Moscow for the 
deaths in Beslan, in North Ossetia, which he called a "terrible tragedy" and 
denied killing any children.      "The storming was carried out by the Russian 
special services, which had planned that from the start," he said in the 
statement.                Guevara poster      Shamil Basayev was born in 
January 1965, in the mountain village of Vedeno.        He bears the
 name of the famous mullah and warrior, Imam Shamil, who led the mountain 
tribes' resistance to the Tsarist armies in the last century.                  
Russia is the last empire: it is built on blood 


    Shamil Basayev

     His early career revealed romantic and revolutionary ambitions - he says 
he had a poster of Che Guevara on his wall as a student in Moscow.      He 
first came to prominence soon after the attempted communist coup d'etat in 
1991, when he hijacked a Russian passenger jet and forced it to land in Ankara 
in Turkey.      There, he demanded a press conference to tell the world what 
was going on in Chechnya.      Mr Basayev went on to become one of the leading 
commanders of the resistance when Russian forces invaded Chechnya at the end of 
1994.      "Russia is the last empire: it is built on blood," he said in a BBC 
interview in 1999.      When Russia was forced to withdraw its forces after the 
first Chechen war ended in 1996, Mr Basayev stood for president, but came 
second to Aslan Maskhadov - the more moderate separatist leader killed by 
Russian troops in March 2005.      
  Mr Basayev also served briefly as prime minister in the self-proclaimed 
independent Chechen republic of Ichkeria in 1997.
