On March 20, 2002, Khatab, one of the three bandits in Chechnya, received a letter and was killed within 5 minutes!
On April 26, Russia announced Khatab's death to the world through television, and the world was in an uproar, and in order to confirm that the claim was not false, the Russian Federal Security Service also released a videotape.
The Russian agents excited the US Intelligence Department by "killing" Khatab by poison letters, and they decided to assassinate os-laden in this unique way.
Khatab, as one of the three bandits in Chechnya, has been hiding in the mountains for many years, and even when he eats, he must first let the people around him "test poison", and the letter is also handed to him by his confidants.
Khatab's mysterious life
Khatab, just a code name, his real name is Habib Abdullah Rahman.
Date of birth unknown, some speculate that it was born in 1970 in a tribal family on the border between Jordan and Saudi Arabia, very wealthy, was sent by his family to study in the United States, and later worked for an oil company.
Since then, Khatab has become a fanatical Muslim jihadist, and he has received special military training in the intelligence agency of a Certain South Asian country, claiming that "where there is war, it is my home."
Russian intelligence found that Khatab had intersected with terror tycoon bin Laden, and that the two belonged to the "Wahhabi" faction, an extremist Muslim group that they believed to be part of the "jihad" in any country they fought in.
In the 1980s, in response to the call for jihad, Khatab entered Afghanistan and led a guerrilla group of Muslims against the Soviet Union. In 1993 he went to Tajikistan to form a rebel group specializing in attacks against the Russian garrison.
After the outbreak of the War in Chechnya, Khatab infiltrated Chechnya in 1995. After raising money from abroad, he recruited a large number of mercenaries from Muslim countries to form an illegal armed group, which once numbered as many as 1,500 people.
In April 1996, Khatab shook Chechnya. This time he led an ambush of Russian armored forces, killing 53 Russian officers and wounding 52. The battle caught the attention of Basayev, another major Chechen bandit.
Soon the two colluded because of the similar smell. In August 1998, more than 2,000 people invaded Dagestan and established the "Islamic Dagestan State". The Russian army went to suppress the bandits and soon drove Khatab back to Chechnya, but within a month, Khatab launched a frenzied terrorist attack.
Khatab sent many attack teams to infiltrate russian cities and create terrorist explosions. And threatened: "From now on, let our bombs ring all over Russia's cities, big and small." ”
For each action, Khatab would have two photographers photograph the process and then enjoy it for themselves, while also serving as material for training terrorists.
Khatab is sinister and cruel, never leaves a mouth for war, and when he captures prisoners of war, he will cut off their heads with his own hands with his sword.
Khatab's crazy behavior also brought him ruin, and Russia believed that it was imperative to get rid of Khatab!
So who removes? How to get rid of it? The Russian Federal Security Service has already begun to plan the layout ...
Poison letter assassination, killed within 5 minutes
Khatab never had a fixed hiding place, the Three Caves of the Cunning Rabbit, and later he led more than 1,500 people to flee directly to the mountains of Chechnya on the border with Georgia.
It was littered with numerous tunnels and bunkers that Khatab had forced to dig for prisoners of war and brutally kill them when they were finished.
Khattab rarely leaves his secret base, surrounded by his 6 bodyguards, where many orders for terrorist attacks are given via radio signals.
According to the analysis of the Russian Federal Security Service, Khatab is familiar with the terrain and is in the dark, and if it is attacked, it will certainly suffer heavy losses. The best way to get rid of Khatab is to outwit them – assassination.
And assassination, it is best to let the people around you do it! The Russian Federal Security Service has been carefully arranged for this for a whole year.
After a long wait, the russian federation infiltrated chechen armed agents to get the news that there was infighting within them, and factional fighting for power and profit. As they recruited fighters, Russian double-sided spies mingled in.
After the Russian agents mixed in, they bribed several armed members and became informants, and everything was ready, just waiting for the time to be ripe.
Khatab is very cunning, and all he eats and drinks is tested by the bodyguards around him before entering the mouth to ensure safety before eating. Assassination by poisoning is extremely difficult.
Later, people from the Russian Security Service found that Khatab often exchanged letters with the outside world, and perhaps could make articles on the letters.
From several informants, the Russian Federal Security Service selected Ibrahim Arauri, one of Khatab's confidants, and the letter he sent would not arouse suspicion.
On 20 March 2002, Ibrahim Arauritto brought a letter to Khatab, who had never dreamed that Araurie had been rebelled against him, much less that the letter had been tampered with. He opened the letter, but within 5 minutes, he was killed on the spot.
It turned out that the Russian Federal Security Service smeared a highly toxic neurotoxin on the letter paper, and once it was touched by the skin of the human body, it would be quickly absorbed by the skin, which would immediately cause heart disease and suffocate.
Before the invincible Khatab could figure out what the situation was, he died.
Khatab's death led to a massive purge by illegal Chechen armed groups, in which Ibrahim Arauri was exposed and executed.
Khatab's death exposed Videotape released
After Khatab's assassination, both the Russian authorities and the Chechen armed forces remained silent, but the Russian Federal Security Service could not suppress the excitement and secretly celebrated internally.
It was not until April 26 that Russian officials officially announced Khatab's death and released a videotape to the outside world.
After Khatab's death, double-sided spies of the Russian Federation sent back a message that Khatab's close confidant, Isayev, had made a videotape.
The video includes Khatab's funeral, as well as videos of Khatab's speeches and biographies. Isayev intends to secretly take it out of Chechnya and send it to the Arab world, using it to agitate Muslims, support Chechen armed forces, and raise funds.
The Russian Federal Security Service received the news and immediately decided to intercept Isayev and set up an ambush on his way.
When Isayev appeared in the ambush circle, he was killed on the spot, and then the Russian side got the tape and released it to the public.
The tape features footage of Khatab's funeral, with Khatab lying quietly with a beard and bodyguards standing nearby. There is also a close-up of his hand, and Khatab's right hand is placed on his chest, and two fingers are missing. This also confirms that this person is indeed Khatab himself, who was blown off two fingers during the war in Afghanistan.
Nevertheless, it still attracted the suspicion of the outside world, it seems that Khatab died very peacefully, the Russian Federal Security Service also said that Khatab was not killed, as for how he died, the Russian Federal Security Service does not want to say more, because it will undermine future assassinations.
But there was no impermeable wall, and less than a month later, on May 19, the British newspaper Times shook out the cause of Khatab's death.
