Now while I'm not big fan of Russia's "scorched earth" policy with regards to Chechnya, I've got to hand it to Putin and the Russian security forces for taking down Shamil Basayev. According to this article in the Washington Times, Basayev, the mastermind of the attack on the school in Beslan that resulted in 330 deaths, and 12 fellow terrorists met their maker during an overnight operation in Ekazhevo(Ingushetia province). While the report notes that these terrorists probably died via an accidental explosion, I'm betting on the severity of the explosion and the fact that it happened at night as a classic counterterrorism mission that was conducted on behalf of the Russian military and intelligence services. Though it's true that time is the best equalizer for facts on this operation, I've got to give it to Russia for chalking up more victory in the war on global Islamofascism. This is one thing Putin has going for, to bad we can't say the same with regards to Russia's slide away from liberalism(classical).
