WARM UP THE 72 VIRGINS

Another martyr is paradise bound:

The most wanted Chechen rebel warlord, Shamil Basayev, has been killed, Russian media report.

Basayev was killed in a special operation overnight in Ingushetia, near Chechnya, Russia's FSB security service chief Nikolai Patrushev said.

President Vladimir Putin said Basayev's killing was "deserved retribution" for terror attacks, including the 2004 mass hostage-taking at a school in Beslan.

As Dennis Miller once observed, it would be better to spend eternity with one experienced woman than with 72 trainees.
