British Intellegence Uncovers Plot to Kill Russian Exile

MI5, Britain's domestic intelligence agency, issued an unprecedented public warning that Akhmed Zakayev was the target of a murder plot. The UK government went to court to have the man MI5 identified as the organiser of the "hit" removed from the country, however, judges have allowed him to stay and fight to remain in Britain. Mr Zakayev was a politician in the war-ravaged Russian republic of Chechnya before he fled to London in 2002 and was granted asylum. MI5 believes that Chechen President Ramzan Kadyrov, who is a rival of Mr Zakayev, may be behind the plot.
