MOSCOW (Reuters) - A bomb blast tore through a packed stadium, killing Chechnya's Moscow-backed leader Akhmad Kadyrov and at least 13 others Sunday in an attack that dealt a blow to President Vladimir Putin's efforts to stamp out rebellion.

Holy Christ.

That's BAD.

Putin basically has a free pass now to just do whatever he wants to Chechnya.

Why do the Russians still want Chechnya in the first place? Isn't there a major oil pipeline involved?

FYI: Chechen rebels have been picked up fighting in Iraq, as well. The terrorist network of cells is morphing constantly. Now they have accomplished a major victory in their effort to prove to the world that no leader is safe.

Recent estimates have said there are as many as 5,000 or more "foreign fighters" that have entered Iraq since the initial "war" and are now attacking coalition soldiers.

Not good.

He acts like he has one already. I'm almost scared to think what he'll do now. almost.

I've heard one theory i thought was pretty good....That Russia has so many different ethnicities and groups within it that if they let one group go, more will want to follow...

Buncha Al Qaedas there.
Unfortunately, the Russian Army is so rotten, it couldn't beat the Mexican Army right now.

Except in hockey.

I don't believe Putin on any level and therefore automatically expect him to have been involved in killing everyone. EVERYONE.

And I do hear that the Mexican hockey team will have Scott Gomez so......beatsville for Russia. (Yeah I know he's Alaskan or whatever, sportsnerds)
