Russia claims to have killed bin Laden-linked warlord
One of the leading rebel warlords in Chechnya, a Jordanian whom the US has said is linked to Osama bin Laden, has been killed, Russia's main security service said today.
A rebel spokesman denied the claim. Federal Security Service spokesman Alexander Zdanovich said Omar Ibn al Khattab was killed in an operation by Russian forces in Chechnya.
