'Beast Of Beslan' Killed
Updated: 14:53, Monday July 10, 2006
Chechen rebel leader Shamil Basayev - dubbed the Beast of Beslan - has been killed by Russia's security forces.
The radical Islamic leader was behind the Beslan school siege in which hundreds of people, mostly children, were killed.
Basayev, 41, together with other Chechen fighters, was killed in Ingushetia, a region neighbouring Chechnya, in an operation by Russian special forces, Russia said.
President Vladimir Putin said Basayev's killing was "deserved retribution".
Hundreds died in Beslan siege "This is deserved retribution against the bandits for our children in Beslan, in Budennovsk, for all these acts of terror they committed in Moscow and other Russian regions, including Ingushetia and Chechnya," Mr Putin said.
FSB head Nikolai Patrushev said Chechen rebels were planning an attack in southern Russia to coincide with the Group of Eight summit later this week in Russia, which Mr Putin is chairing.
He indicated other countries may have been involved in the planning the attack on Basayev.
More than 331 people, half of them children, were killed in Beslan after Russian forces tried to end a siege of the school which had been seized by Islamist militants linked to Chechnya's fight for independence.
More than 100 people were killed in 1995 when Chechen rebels seize hundreds of hostages at a hospital in Budennovsk.
