Kadyrov: Doku Umarov has long been killed

The head of Chechnya, Ramzan Kadyrov, believes that the leader of the Imrat Caucasus Doku Umarov has long been dead, RIA Novosti reports. “Umarov has long been dead, we are simply looking for Umarov’s corpse,” Kadyrov said. “From Umarov there is no danger to the Chechen people and the republic. I officially declare you.”

Meanwhile, on July 3, Kadyrov promised that Umarov would be killed before the Sochi Olympiad . "He is Shaitan, we are his before the Olympics, I think I am sure that we will destroy him," said Chechnya leader. So he reacted to Umarov’s call that was widespread on that day to disrupt games in Sochi.

“I watched the record (the appeals of Umarov. - Ed.), In his appearance it is clear that he was hidden and lay down somewhere,” Kadyrov said. “A rat is a rat, so what else to expect from him.”

Russia is ready to hold competitions of the highest level, the head of Chechnya added. “Our enemies do not like this, I always call them Western, European, use such an instrument as Dok Umarov,” he remarked. According to Kadyrov, "one of him (Umarova. - Ed.) Western colleagues told him to make such a statement so that he will subsequently play his games."

Earlier, the head of Chechnya had already admitted that he would be upset if Umarov dies his death, and declared his dream that the leader of the Caucasus is killed.

During the special operation on March 28, 2011 , 19 militants were killed near the village of Verkhny Alkun, the Sunzhensky district of Ingushetia, among whom, according to the security forces, Umarov could be. The base of the militants was destroyed as a result of missile shelling from helicopters and ground operations. However, the next video message of Umarov appeared soon. In May 2011, a genetic examination finally found that Umarova was not among those killed as a result of a special operation.

Umarov is considered one of the ten most dangerous criminals in the world. For information about him, the United States promised a reward of $ 5 million. Umarov, in particular, took responsibility for organizing explosions in the Moscow metro in 2010 and at Domodedovo Airport in 2011.
