Last night Kadyrov accused in Vesti channel international terrorism and West that they are responsible for Yevkurov's assassination attempt. That happened during on-line interview. Moments later Vesti published this video on their website. "West" is cut out and interview ends very abruptly. It seems that Russians are waiting Obama's visti
This is the cut video (in Russian of course) http://www.vesti.ru/doc.html?id=295611

Kadyrov’s relationship with Moscow is very interesting. They seem very dependent on him, and it is interesting when they do pull his reigns. The military it seems don’t trust him, and GRU had maintained the Yamadayev clan and Vostok battalion as a hedge. Kadyrov neutralized them last year and has consolidated his power, making Moscow’s dependency on him even greater.

I'd like to add to this sad thread beautiful notes. Following pictures are form Kadyrov's garage.

Yes, I should have used that phrase. It has been reported that Chechen oil is very lucrative for Russian Army Generals, so I can imagine there is some economic self interest in making sure Kadyrov does not get too powerful.

I think there is not only talk about oil. Generals deal with oli, lower ranks have their own business. For example couple weeks ago 1 OMON unit commander was arrested in Russia. His unit soldiers worked as super market security guards in Chechnya. They did this during their official working time.
