The Russian government has announced the killing of its most-wanted enemy. Shamil Basayev, the Chechen rebel leader who masterminded the Beslan school siege and other major attacks, died in what appears to have been an accidental bombing. Basayev had a $10 million dollar bounty on his head. His attacks led to the deaths of more than eight hundred people.
