Maria Martova Moskovsky Komsomolets, May 11
"Everyone understood a long time ago that Mr Kadyrov was a marked man . . . It is obvious that it is not just .
. Mr Maskhadov and Mr Basaev . . . who wanted him dead. He could have been killed as the result of a blood feud;
almost half of Chechnya had one against him. A huge number of people suffered at the hands of his private army headed by
his son Mr Ramzan . . . Equally, one of his political rivals may be guilty. And finally employees of the federal
ministries based in Chechnya could be behind his death. They would have seen that his private army was becoming more and
more like a bandit group. . . . With such a serious armed force behind him Mr Kadyrov had become dangerous."
