nsnbc: The Russian Federal Security Service (FSB) confirmed the death of the internationally wanted terrorist and leader of the “Caucasian Emirate”, Doku Umarov. Umarov’s Caucasian Emirate is one, of the many Saudi and Western-backed Islamist insurgencies in Russia.

Doku Umarov, here calling for the disruption of the Winter Olympic Games in February 2014, at any cost.
FSB chief Alexandr Bortnikov reported that Umarov was neutralized as a result of surgical combat operations during the first quarter of 2014 while hundreds of other militants and their supporters have been detained.
The FSB chief reports that Russian security services have carried out 33 counter-terrorist operations within the first three months of 2014, resulting in the elimination of 13 warlords and 65 terrorists who had gone underground, while another 240 have been detained.
Bortnikov added that 18 emissaries of international terrorist organizations have been detained in Russia since 2014.
In January, the President of the Russian Autonomous Republic Chechnya, Ramzan Kadyrov, announced that intercepted communications between leading terrorists indicated that Umarov had been killed. The FSB did, however, not officially confirm Umarov’s death until today.
In late December, one of the close aides to Doku Umarov, Islam Atiev, was killed in an explosion that occurred during a gunfight with Russian police in the Khasavyurt region of Dagestan.
One of the last public appearances of Umarov was on a video, in which he called on Russian and international Islamist terrorists to do everything in their power to disrupt the 2014 Winter Olympic Games in Sochi.
The Caucasian Emirate, led by Umarov, and other other the Russian Islamist terrorist groups, are to a large degree funded by Saudi Arabia, and operating in liaison with Saudi, US, and other Western intelligence services.
Saudi Arabia’s direct control over Umarov’s and other Islamist terrorist groups in Russia was admitted during a visit of the then Saudi Intelligence Chief Prince Bandar, on August 2, 2013, to Moscow.
During the visit to Moscow and talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin, Bandar spoke, among others, about the chemical weapons attack in Eastern Ghouta and the future of Syria´s President, Bashar al-Assad.
Bandar tried to bribe Putin with weapons and oil deals in order to gain the Russian President´s support for ousting the Assad government. Bandar supposed that the Syrian government should be replaced with the Saudi-backed and sponsored opposition.
Bandar guaranteed that Russia´s interests in Syria would be preserved by this Saudi-backed government if Russia supported the regime change. While Bandar attempted to gain Putin as a potential ally for regime change in Syria, he also delivered a thinly veiled threat, saying among others:
“I can give you a guarantee to protect the Winter Olympics in the city of Sochi on the Black Sea next year. The Chechen groups that threaten the security of the games are controlled by us, and they will not move in the direction of the Syrian territory without coordinating with us. These groups don´t scare us. We use them in the face of the Syrian regime, but they will have no role or influence in Syria´s political future”.
Putin responded, saying that the Russians know that the Saudis have supported the Chechen terrorist groups for a decade, and that the support which Bandar just had offered was utterly incompatible with the common objectives of fighting global terrorism.
The confirmation of the death of Doku Umarov by FSB Chief Bortnikov, comes about one month after Ukrainian Pravy Sector leader Dmitry Yarosh, who is wanted for terrorism by Russia and Interpol, and who knew Umarov from his participation in the Chechen war, called on Umarov to support the Euro-Maidan movement by launching attacks against Russian interests.
