#1 Confirmation

The Saudi website Islam Today said Ghamdi had "been hit (stabbed or shot) in the back" while preparing for prayers on Friday.

Does he get more or less martyr points for this?

#2 Khattab was dead a couple of times too.

I'd give this the 24 hour rule.

#12 So, would some kind Rantbourgeois explain to me why we don't have common cause with Russia on this? And please no .com spew

#13 I'll give it a shot, NMM--I'm not sure why, even though I think we should get with Russia on this fight as I'm convinced it's Al Queda-linked.
The only reason I can think of is that, like Kosovo, the Islamists joined with geniune Chechen "freedom fighters" a few years ago and militarized the cause.
The official position the US has taken on this is that Putin was whipping ass on his own people for their "righteous struggle."
In the future, I strongly feel that we will need to join Chechnya to the WOT and clean out the Pankisi Gorge.
