Al-Qaeda leader in Russia killed

By Vladimir Radyuhin

MOSCOW: A key Al-Qaeda member involved in the Beslan school seige last year was killed by Russian forces last week, a security agency spokesman said here. Abu Dzeit was killed in a special security operation in Ingushetia when troops raided a house where he was hiding with two associates, a Federal Security Service spokesman said. The man was suspected of funding the attack on a school in Beslan, also in the northern Caucasus, in which over 340 people, half of them children, died. Abu Dzeit was the Al-Qaeda's emissary in Chechnya responsible for distributing foreign funds, the FSB spokesman said.
