A Reuters reporter Adlan Khasanov was killed in the May 9 terrorist attack in Grozny. Khasanov was near the stadium’s guest tribune where top Chechen officials stood. Khasanov was 33 years old. He began working for Reuters in the late nineties. He worked mainly in Chechnya as a cameraman. Colleagues said Khasanov was an excellent military reporter. In August 2002, he infiltrated an area where a mop-up raid was underway. Men wearing uniforms beat Khasanov within an inch of his life. After a long treatment, he returned to Chechnya.
Chechen doctors did their best but Khasanov’s wounds were fatal.
