Twelve rebels killed raiding Chechen leader's village

No matter where you look , when you are looking at the World .

When it Comes to Terrorism there is one Common theme ,

Islam !

99% of all Terrorist Attacks are carried out in the Name of Islam ?


And another Assassination Attempt in Chechnya.





(Reuters) - Chechen police killed 12 rebels as they repulsed a raid on the Moscow-backed president's home village on Sunday, authorities said, in an attack that broke a period of relative calm in the Russian republic.

Chechen President Ramzan Kadyrov told state-run Rossiya-24 TV that he headed the operation to fight off the attack on his village of Tsentoroi and said 12 insurgents were killed.

It was not clear whether Kadyrov was in the village at the time or had directed operations from the capital Grozny, some 60 km (37 miles) away.

Kadyrov, a former Chechen rebel, has vowed to bring peace and stability to the republic which has seen more than 15 years of sporadic separatist conflict, but Chechnya is plagued by political murders and extrajudicial killings.

Many neighboring Russian republics in the mainly Muslim North Caucasus also face simmering insurgencies and 10 rebels were killed in Dagestan and Kabardino-Balkaria on Saturday.
