MOSCOW - Radical Chechen warlord Shamil Basayev vowed Wednesday that the separatist war against Russia would continue despite the killing of rebel leader Aslan Maskhadov by Russian troops.
"Mujahedin come and go. Those who fought for Maskhadov can rest. For those who fight for Allah, the jihad (holy war) continues," Basayev said in a statement on the Kavkazcenter.com website used by the most radical Chechen separatists.
