Foosh, Diamand. The US supported the Chechens against the Russians with money and guns to pevent the Russians from reaching the oil rich Caspian sea. The US intelligenece and other agencies are now no doubt supporting ‘Human Rights’ activists and terrorists as they did in the ‘color’ revolutions and are doing now in Iran.
Nevertheless, the murder is an outrage if true. But truthdig is a willing agent of US impoeralism and can’t be trusted to tell the truth about these kinds of kinds of things.
