A misguided strike at the rebels' heart

Aslan Maskhadov, the leader of Chechnya's independence movement, has
died in a raid by Russian special forces. But removing the relatively
moderate Mr Maskhadov will only make the republic's long-running
conflict harder to solve
THE conflict in Russia's rebellious southern republic of Chechnya
took a dramatic turn on Tuesday March 8th, when Russian special forces
tracked down Aslan Maskhadov, the leader of Chechnya's separatist
fighters, who was killed during the raid. According to Russian media
reports, one of Mr Maskhadov's captured followers had led the Russian
troops to his hideout, a concrete bunker under a building in the
village of Tolstoy-Yurt, north of the Chechen capital, Grozny. Accounts
differ as to what killed Mr Maskhadov: the Russians say it was one of
their grenades, while a Chechen politician has claimed he was shot
accidentally by one of his bodyguards.
