Zakayev and Litvinyenko, 2006

Ahmed Zakayev was the "Foreign Minister" of the Islamist Chechen group headed by Aslan Mashkadov. He and Alexander Litvinyenko lived next door to each other in London. Zakayev is the guy who promoted Shamil Basayev after the Moscow theatre terrorist attack, for which Basayev took responsibility. Basayev, Mashkadov, and Litvinyenko are dead. Zakayev is free in London.
