The terrorist chief, wanted for years even before the Bali atrocity for his involvement in a series of bombings across Indonesia over Christmas 2000 which left 19 dead and scores...
...about to be shot on a mountain path in Pankisi Gorge when he broke free and hid in gorse bushes. He escaped after five months captivity, during which he had been kept chained in a cellar. The banker was seized in June in Tbilisi by a gang disguised as policemen. His unaided escape will do little to enhance President Eduard Shevardnadze's claim that he's asserting authority over the gorge.
