The Guardian: ‘We can find you anywhere’: the Chechen death squads stalking Europe
Ramzan Kadyrov rules the Caucasus republic through fear and oppression, amid reports of torture. But those seeking asylum in Europe are not safe, as assassins hunt them down.
Zelimkhan Khangoshvili spent a long time living on the edge. He survived several years of partisan warfare against Russian forces in Chechnya during the early 2000s. He survived an assassination attempt in Georgia’s capital Tbilisi in 2015, a spray of bullets hitting him in the arm and shoulder. He survived a stint living in Ukraine, where he was tipped off about another planned attack and went into hiding. Finally, he arrived in Germany towards the end of 2016, and breathed a sigh of relief.
“I think he felt much safer here. He was only thinking about building a bright future in Germany, also for the children, not about fighting or going back there,” said Manana Tsatieva, Khangoshvili’s ex-wife, who lives in Germany with their four children.

WNU Editor: It is hard for me to feel any sympathy to these former Chechen separatist commanders. These Islamic extremists are responsible not only for murdering opponents in Chechnya during their drive for independence, but also launching a terror campaign against Russian civilians that then precipitated two destructive and bloody wars followed by a terror campaign that killed tens of thousands of people. The Beslan school massacre, the Moscow theatre hostage crisis, the list is long and many. It is also a sad state of affairs that it takes a psychotic like Ramzan Kadyrov who currently rules this Caucasus republic to go after these other psychotics who have caused so much pain.
