Ali Taziyev

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

An ex-police officer, Ali Taziyev (d. 10 July 2006) was one of 32 hostage-takers in the 2004 Beslan school hostage crisis. He reportedly led the negotiations on behalf of the hostage-takers, and had joined the group after his wife and five children were killed by a Russian bomb.

Although he was initially reported to have been among the identified dead after Beslan, he was later reported as being killed two years later by the FSB operation that killed terrorist leader Shamil Basayev. [1]

Debate rages whether an alias/stolen identity of Ruslan Tagirovich Khuchbarov or Magomet Yevloyev.
