Default Russian Hostages Killed and the G8 Summit

Don't kow where to start here...this is a major story that is in it's infancy.
This happened early in the month ...only know is it getting some play in the media.

WHY WOULD THEY KILL THE RUSSIANS?
The terorists say it's due to Chechnya: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/5115768.stm

Quote:
The men were seized in Baghdad on 3 June, and kidnappers said the executions were in revenge for "torture, killing and displacement by the infidel Russian government" in Chechnya.

The Mujahideen Shura Council, which said it was holding the men, had threatened to kill them if Russia did not pull its troops out of Chechnya.
Russia has opposed the U.S. led invasion of Iraq...in this article Putin blames the U.S.:

Quote:
MOSCOW—Foreign ministers from the Group of Eight countries gather in Moscow today for talks that are expected to highlight growing tensions between Russia and the West, in particular over Iran and Iraq, with Russian officials blaming the U.S. and its allies for the recent deaths of four Russian diplomats there.
Then there's this scintalating article that gets into some deep and heavy espionage: http://www.uruknet.info/?p=m24282&l=i&size=1&hd=0

Quote:
In response to this senseless attack, "Vladimir Putin has ordered Russian special services to find and kill the criminals" responsible, in other words "al-Qaeda in Iraq," a documented Pentagon black op pseudo-gang designed to discredit the legitimate resistance and deluge Americans with scary images of al-Zarqawi terrorists determined to chop off heads and blow up Shia mosques.

It will be interesting to see what comes of this effort. It should be noted, however, that Russia is basically the flip side of the United States, an authoritarian police state engaged in covert dirty tricks both abroad and at home.

"Russian operations in other countries are wrapped in secrecy, but in 2004 a court in the Middle East state of Qatar convicted two Russian intelligence officers for killing Chechen terrorist leader Zelimkhan Yandarbiyev," MosNews continues. "After serving some time in Qatar jail both men were handed over to Russia which claimed they will continue to serve their life sentences…. At the trial, the judge said the plot to assassinate Zelimkhan Yandarbiyev was carried out with the approval of the 'Russian leadership’ and coordinated between Moscow and the Russian Embassy in Qatar," a modus operandi similar to that employed by the CIA, or more specifically (in regard to targeted assassination in foreign countries), the Israeli Mossad.

According to the lap dog United Nations, Yandarbiyev had "suspected links to al-Qaeda," in other words the possibility exists he was connected to Pentagon intelligence operations. It is a well established fact the CIA and U.S. intelligence have aggressively midwifed terrorism, as noted by B. Raman, writing for the Asia Times Online
Sorry for the confusion of the post. Posting that the Russians were killed is just the tip of what is going on ...rather sad to say that. Zarqawi wanted a civil war in Iraq...that was his goal. Afghanistan heats up to keep us busy. Now this to cause furthur problems with Russia?

Like i said...not sure where to go here but it is all connected...that I am sure.
