$10m paid for information on Chechen leader

Russia’s Federal Security Service said today that it had paid a reward of $10m (€7.5m) for information on the exact location of Chechen rebel leader Aslan Maskhadov.

Maskhadov was killed last week in a special operation in northern Chechnya. The security service had announced in September that it would pay the reward for tips on the top rebel leader’s whereabouts.
