In Russia, a Chechen crime boss is being accused of organizing the murder of the journalist and human rights advocate Anna Politkovskaya. Politkovskaya was shot dead outside her home last October. She was a fierce critic of Russia President Vladimir Putin and the Chechen war. On Monday, chief Russian prosecutor Yury Chaika said Russian police and security officers were also involved in her killing.

Yury Chaika: “We have made serious progress in the Politkovskaya murder investigation. Ten people have been arrested in connection with this case, and literally, in the very near future, they will be charged with carrying out this grave crime.”
