The militant liquidated in the capital of Chechnya was a member of Rustam Basaev's group

The "Echo Moskvy" Radio reports that Ruslan Alkhanov, Chechnya's Minister of Interior, has stated that Musa Mutiev, the so-called "Emir of Grozny," who was killed today during a special operation in the city of Grozny, the capital of Chechnya, was a member of the subversive and terrorist group that had murdered several law enforcement officers and was preparing acts of terror against high-ranking officials.

Mutiev was a member of the group of Rustam Basaev who was killed earlier and of the close retinue of Doku Umarov, leader of Chechen terrorists.

The "Caucasian Knot" has already reported that Rustam Basaev (namesake of notorious field commander Shamil Basaev, killed last summer in Ingushetia), was a native of the Prigorodnoe village, Grozny District of Chechnya.

On August 23, Basaev was stopped for check of documents in the Leninskiy District of Grozny. The militant shot dead two militiamen and tried to hide in a doorway of a multi-storey house. Some time later he was killed in a skirmish with fighters of the Republic's Ministry of Internal Affairs (MIA) and special battalion "Sever" (North) of Russian MIA's internal troops, who promptly arrived to the place of the incident.

On September 1, three members of Rustam Basaev's group were detained. According to Minister Alkhanov, a woman is among the detainees, who was also Basaev's aide. The available data indicate that terrorists planned to use her as a suicide bomber.
