Chechen terrorist leader Doku Umarov killed in special operation

The President of Chechnia, Ramzan Kadyrov, has just confirmed that Chechen terrorist leader Doku Umarov, the self-styled "1st Emir of the Caucasus Emirate and 5th President of the Chechen Republic of Ichkeria" has been killed in a special operation of the Chechen security services.

Recently, Dokku Umarov had promised to attack the Sochi Olympics.  The leader of the Ukrainian Nazis Dmitri Iarosh had appealed to Umarov to attack Russia and the Ukraine.

Umarov was the last major Chechen terrorist still not killed by the Russian or Chechen special services.  Though he had no more real power - the Chechen insurgency has been basically wiped out - he was still the living personification of evil for many Chechens and Russians and his death marks the end of a tragic and ugly era.  May God protect the Russian and Chechen people and may they always live in peace together.
