Rebel Leader Sadulayev Shot Dead

From the Moscow Times:

Chechen Prime Minister Ramzan Kadyrov said (chechen rebel leader Abdul-Khalim Sadulayev) was shot dead Saturday in his hometown of Argun during a raid prompted by a tip from someone in his inner circle.

Kadyrov, posing and grinning for television cameras next to a battered, half-naked body that resembled Sadulayev, said the informant had tipped off police for drug money.

“One person sold us Sadulayev — their dearest friend whom they consider their own — for 1,500 rubles,” or about $50, Kadyrov said. “He needed to buy a gram of heroin. He sold out his leader for heroin.”
