Saudi Leader of Arab Fighters in Chechnya Killed
(Reuters/Washington Post) A Saudi who led Arab fighters in Chechnya was killed there a few days ago, his brother said Sunday. Russian officials said the Saudi, known as Abu Walid, was among those who organized a bombing in the Moscow subway that killed about 40 people in February. The Kremlin also believes Abu Walid was among those behind the 1999 apartment bombings across Russia. In March, al-Jazeera broadcast a videotape it said featured Abu Walid vowing to stage a new wave of attacks in Russia.
