Two men, wanted for at least 5 terrorist acts, have been killed in a special forces operation in Chechnya. The Gakayev brothers were deemed more dangerous than militant Doku Umarov, by Chechen leader, Ramzan Kadyrov.

The two brothers, Khuseyn and Muslim Gakayev, are said to be responsible for the deaths of many law enforcers and civilians and were on Russia’s wanted list for 11 years. The pair were killed during an operation on Thursday in the Vedeno district, one of the regions hardest hit by fighting in the area.

"Two Gakayev brothers, were on the federal wanted list for involvement in the terrorist acts and the murders of law enforcers and civilian” the press center of the Russian Interior Ministry told the media.

Ramzan Kadyrov, President of the Russian Republic of Chechnya, noted that the two men were more dangerous than terrorist at large Doku Umarov. Umarov has been linked to a spate of deadly terrorist attacks targeting Russian civilians.

“Umarov is nobody special. The dead Muslim and Hussein Gakayev commanded gangs from the first days of the counterterrorist operation. They are responsible for dozens of innocently slain policemen, military servicemen, teachers, directors of enterprises, and religious figures," Kadyrov said.

Two police officers died and six were injured in the two-day operation that also left 11 Chechen militants dead.

The Gakayev brothers made several high-profile attacks, most recently a suicide bomb attack on an interior ministry vehicle that killed four last August. They were also blamed for an attack on the Chechen parliament in 2010 that killed at least six people, and an assassination attempt at the residence of Chechen leader Ramzan Kadyrov. After this, Kadyrov announced a reward for information on their activities.

Khuseyn and Muslim Gakayev’s four other brothers were all killed during fighting that raged in Chechnya between the mid 1990s and early 2000s

@remember false flag fsa beslan (rt keep deleting this makes you wonder why) Part1

A few points to vindicate me after your hate filled post on muslims/chechens..

1. the so-called Beslan terrorists were agents of our own special forces the UBOP and FSB.. they were released from custody and confirmed fsa assets, do some research.

2. ''Most chechens''.
Rus sians** ''prefer murdering helpless targets'' as was evident in the complete flattening of Grozny with ballistic missles..they even raped girls/boys/wives in front of their parents/husbands and then killed them all and burnt them and their houses down. Russians went after the fighters defensless women and children and murder them cause they can't fight the fighers, even with all their military might.. ''suicide women'' sure buddy those black widows.

3 . NAZI?
''Chechen s remained impervious to the numerous attempts to Sovietize them. Their clan-system was quite strong and governed the main social aspects of life. The Communist Party had little influence given that religious leaders and elders retained their social positions. The traditional and the Soviet systems were superimposed one onto the other, and most of Moscow’s decisions gave rise to resistance and revolts. Thus, Chechens met the Soviet authorities with strong opposition when they imposed brutal collectivization tactics. Several uprisings occurred in the Republic during the 1930s. Likewise, the war aggravated this very complex situation. A part of the Chechen population was openly hostile towards Soviet rule. Some tried to make contact with the Germans, as Ukrainians or Russians had done. A few of the insurgent groups’ leaders viewed Germany’s advance as an opportunity to gain autonomy or even independence. However, the Germans refused to accede to their demands, and CHECHENS CONSEQUENTLY CUT OFF ALL DISCUSSIONS.

@remeber beslan false flag fsa attack
part 2

However, t his does not mean that the Chechens massively collaborated with the Germans. The 1943-1944 official documents disclose quite the contrary. These documents assess the local population’s role in STOPPING THE GERMAN ADVANCE AND RESISITANCE TO THE INVADER, who occupied during approximately twelve weeks the North-West of the Republic (Nekrich, 1978: 58). In fact, many Chechen men served in the Red Army or took an active part in partisan movements. Notwit hstanding the evidence of contribution to the war effort, the Soviets ACCUSED THE CHECHENS of cooperating with the enemy and subsequently condemned them to deportation. 
4. Cowards?
"Many commanders valued the courage and determination of their Chechen fighters, and went to great lengths to deceive the authorities and hang on to them,"  "Most of those who escaped in this way fought all the way to Berlin. A unit commanded by the famous Chechen Movlit Visaitov was one of the first to break through to meet up with the Americans on the River Elbe in May 1945." Calling a warrior culture who have fought since the 1830's when Czar Nicholas invaded the Caucasus where he meet fierce resistance to the present day against the odds again and again as 'cowards'.. really?

5 . no courage for assassination?
Find out what happened to Kadyrovs stooge father and then get back to me..chump!
