Chechen leader killed, Russia says (Aslan Maskhadov)
The Chechen deputy prime minister has confirmed to Aljazeera that separatist leader Aslan Maskhadov has been killed by Russian troops.

Russian media had earlier reported on Tuesday that ousted Chechen President Maskhadov was killed by troops in Chechnya.

Interfax news agency quoted army spokesman Ilya Shabalkin as saying Maskhadov had been killed by Russian troops.

Russian television stations aired pictures of a bearded corpse they said were of Maskhadov.
