MOSCOW. July 11 (Interfax) - The killing of Chechen warlord Shamil Basayev will not trigger any dramatic changes in Chechnya, Memorial human rights center head Oleg Orlov told Interfax on Tuesday.
"The situation will not change drastically. But, given [Basayev's] role as a major organizer of the terrorist network, his elimination will create difficulties for those who have resisted federal forces with weapons in their hands," he said.
"Another horrible terrorist, another person responsible for savage crimes has been eliminated," he said.
Basayev should have been captured and brought to trial, he said. "It would be better for our country and the worldwide anti-terrorist operation in general if such a major terrorist had gone on trial. Very interesting details might have been revealed," Orlov said.
