North-Caucasian militants released video evidence of Umarov's death
A video record of the burial of Doku Umarov, who was killed, according to various versions of power agents, during a special operation in late 2013 – early 2014, was posted on July 19 on the websites, which support the militants of Northern Caucasus.
The "Caucasian Knot" has reported that on April 8 the FSB boss Alexander Bortnikov said that "the activities of Doku Umarov, the leader of the terrorist organization 'Imarat Kavkaz', were stopped in the first quarter of the year." Earlier, on December 18, 2013, and January 16, 2014, Umarov's murder was reported by the head of Chechnya Ramzan Kadyrov.
According to the video, released by militants, Umarov was buried in summer or early autumn, as green leaves and grass are clearly seen at the background.
The video shows a man, specified in the captions as "Amir Khamzat", who reports that the leader of "Imarat Kavkaz" Doku Umarov died in the morning on September 7, 2013, as a result of poisoning. According to "Emir Khamzat", Umarov got poisoned on August 6, 2013, by eating foodstuffs received by members of the armed underground from an Ingush resident.
