«Beslan massacre mastermind dies in blast as Russia says he was plotting new attack»
· Anti-terror triumph for Putin on eve of G8 summit
· 12 others die with 'enemy № 1' in vehicle explosions
Russia's security service announced the death of Shamil Basayev yesterday, the country's 'terrorist № 1' and the man who was the self-confessed mastermind of the Beslan massacre.
In a victory for President Vladimir Putin ahead of his chairing a G8 summit this weekend in St Petersburg, Russian television showed pictures of burnt-out cars and a truck in the southern republic of Ingushetia, which neighbours Basayev's native Chechnya. He and 12 other militants were killed in a blast that destroyed the vehicles, apparently caused by an assault early yesterday morning by the security services. His body was reportedly disfigured in the blast but was identified by some of its parts [head, which was decapitated in the blast].
