...sign of Basayev's political interests, Taramov says, was his fascination with Che Guevara and "anyone else who carried a gun." In November 1991, Basayev shot to fame when he hijacked a plane in the southern Russian city of Mineralniye Vody and forced it to land in Turkey to draw attention to Chechnya's incipient independence struggle.
