Adlan Khasanov
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Adlan Khasanov (born 1970 — died 9 May 2004) — was a Chechen, Russian journalist and photographer, killed during a terrorist act in Grozny.
Adlan studied journalism at the Chechen State University, and later worked in newspapers as a reporter and photographer. He also worked for Reuters and Radio Liberty.
He was killed during a 9 May Victory Day parade at the "Dynamo" stadium in Grozny, in a bomb blast carried out by Chechen separatists in an attempt to eliminate Kremlin-backed Chechen President Akhmad Kadyrov. The stadium had undergone remodeling and reconstruction, and, according to reports, a bomb, possibly a land mine, placed inside a concrete part of the structure, escaped security detection sweeps.
