Unable to escape after Russian soldiers backed by helicopters surrounded his temporary hideout, Abu Omar allegedly detonated an explosive device he was carrying and collapsed the building on top of himself. Known as the "Imam of the Chechen mujahideen", Abu Omar was an original founder of the Arab-Afghan mujahideen movement in Chechnya and was named by Russian officials as a suspect in numerous Caucasus-linked terrorist attacks, including the Moscow theatre siege and the Beslan school hostage massacre.The Counterterrorism Blog has more, including a 2000 interview with Abu Omar.

Not suprising that someone whose career achievements include storming a theatre and an elementary school wouldn't stand and fight when confronted by "the infidels". Good riddance. One more pile of crap gets buried.

Nope, no tears here. Just some hearty laughter as another one bites the dust.

I somehow think if captured, their would be no "panties on the head", yapping dogs, or overly cold air-conditioned room provided by the Russian army for this Joker.

Another one gets his shot at the 72 raisins. I think I'll check into investing in California raisins, because it looks like they might be getting in short supply.

Agent Jones says the 72 raisins should be jalapenos.
