[QUOTE]A CHECHEN rebel warlord who has threatened to attack the Sochi Olympics is dead, according to Chechnya's Kremlin-backed strongman.
Chechen leader Ramzan Kadyrov said on his Instagram on Thursday that Doku Umarov, who urged his fighters to strike the Games, has died - a claim he has made repeatedly in the past.
He offered no proof and his claim couldn't be verified.
The information about Umarov's death came from intercepted communications between other rebel leaders who were discussing his replacement, he said, but he didn't make clear when the conversation took place or how it was heard.
The insurgents are too busy trying to find a replacement to Umarov to pose any threat to the Olympics that start on February 7.
"That's why all the talks about the threat to Sochi are absolutely groundless," he said.
The Interfax news agency quoted an unidentified source in Russian security agencies as saying they can't confirm Umarov's death.
Interfax also quoted Kadyrov as saying that Umarov's body hadn't been found but his forces were looking for it.
Umarov is the leader of the so-called Caucasus Emirate, a loose alliance of rebel groups seeking to create an independent Islamic state in Russia's North Caucasus.
He has claimed responsibility for numerous terror attacks in Russia, including suicide bombing in Moscow's Domodedovo airport in January 2011 that killed 37 people and injured more than 180, and twin suicide bombings on the Moscow underground in March 2010 that killed 40 people and wounded more than 120.[/QUOTE]
