Top Chechen 'behind Gulf murder'

The authorities in Dubai have accused a senior Chechen official of being behind the apparent killing of a rival of the restive Russian republic's president.Police said Sulim Yamadayev was assassinated, but there is confusion over whether he actually died.Two suspects were arrested, one of whom implicated Chechen Deputy PM Adam Delimkhanov, say police.Mr Yamadayev was once close to Chechen President Ramzan Kadyrov but fell out with him last year and fled Russia."The deputy prime minister of Chechnya is wanted by the justice system of the UAE [United Arab Emirates] and six people are suspected of involvement in the murder," Dubai police said in a statement."The crime ... is 100 percent of Chechen making and it's an operation of settling accounts."
