Head of the Chechen State Council Taus Dzhabrailov believes that the information about the death of warlord Shamil Basayev is mere rumors. | Drat. Rats. Phooey. |
The power structures in Chechnya share the opinion of the head of the State Council. "This information is most likely rumors spread, apparently, at the instructions of Basayev himself to have a breathing spell for himself and his band," a source in the republican power structures told RIA Novosti. He did not rule out that now Basayev might undergo a medical treatment somewhere abroad. The Russian law enforcement bodies do not have any data about Basayev's death, the source said.
