Notorious Russian mobster gunned down

One of Russia’s top crime bosses has been murdered in Moscow in a war between two mobs over lucrative construction projects.

A sniper fired seven shots at Aslan Usoyan, 75, near a restaurant, the third attack on him since the late 1990s.

Usoyan, also known as Grandpa Khasan, was an ethnic Kurd who was born in Georgia.
