Reason why pull this article from MoscowNews was for everyone to see what Russians are doing about terrorism and how they handle it. Knowing how brutal they are and they are not into surgical strikes, I wonder how the world respond to their action. I am definitely interested the opinions of liberals, ACLU, Amnesty International, and Middle Eastern media. How they will respond when Russian take out several innocent folks with the killers. They done it mid 80's in Beirut.

What is your take on this issue.

MosNews
President Vladimir Putin has ordered Russian special services to find and
kill the criminals who had kidnapped and executed several Russian embassy
staff in Iraq earlier this month.

The ITAR-TASS news agency quoted a report by the Russian presidential pres
service as reading that Vladimir Putin said this at the meeting with Saudi
Prince Salman ben-Abdel Aziz al Saud.

"Russia will be grateful to our friends for sharing any information about
the criminals who had killed our citizens in Iraq," Putin added.
Four Russian embassy workers were abducted June 3 after an attack on their
car in Baghdad's Mansour neighborhood. A fifth Russian was killed in the
incident. The captives include the embassy's third secretary, Fyodor
Zaitsev, and three other staffers: Rinat Agliulin, Anatoly Smirnov and
Oleg Fedoseyev.

On June 25 an Iraqi al-Qaida-linked group posted a Web video showing the
killings of the hostages.

Russian operations in other countries are wrapped in secrecy, but in 2004
a court in the Middle East state of Qatar convicted two Russian
intelligence officers for killing </mn-files/chechnya.shtml>
</mn-files/chechnya.shtml>Chechen </mn-files/chechnya.shtml> terrorist
leader Zelimkhan Yandarbiyev. After serving some time in Qatar jail both
men were handed over to Russia which claimed they will continue to serve
their life sentences.

At the trial, the judge said the plot to assassinate Zelimkhan Yandarbiyev
was carried out with the approval of the "Russian leadership" and
coordinated between Moscow and the Russian Embassy in Qatar.

Russia has denied involvement in Yandarbiyev's killing and has said the
defendants, who have not been officially identified, were agents gathering
intelligence about terrorism

I still wish them good hunting with no bag limit. It's always open season on terrorists.

However you see results when our guys act. They are called killers by our own folks and place in jail.

Errr, that wouldn't be good for US/Russian relations.

Still, the Spetznaz are reputed to be just a wee bit smarter than your average Red Army trooper.

I still wish them good hunting.

I wish them good hunting too.

Russians are good at it. They are not affraid to use poison gas either. I hope they get them plus few extra for good measures.
