Marie Colvin was murdered by the Govt of Syria on this day in 2012. I explained to Marie how tracking systems work when I met her coming out of Grozny in 1999. I had been surrounded by Russian forces three times and escaped. She also barely made it out. foreignpolicy.com/2012/03/03/kil…
I wrote up my experience under siege in Chechnya for my book Hunter, Hammer and Heaven. Colvin's story of her attempt to reach Grozny and escape is definately worth a read. mariecolvincenter.org/stories-by-mar…
I interviewed GRU agent Alexander Galkin who told me about the apartment bombings and attempts to replicate false flag attacks in Grozny. Most of the people I interviewed or moved with are dead or murdered
