The Russians seem to agree. On April 21, two Russian laser-guided missiles reportedly zeroed in on the cellular telephone of Dzhokhar M. Dudayev, leader of the Chechen rebels, and killed him.
As far as I know, he was using a satellite phone (probably Inmarsat) on open ground outside a building. They had been using satellite phones before, but usually they were transmitting one-way information only (either voice or video), which had been recorded before, so Dudajev was not near at the time of connections. This time it had to be two-way, because he was negotiating with Moscow officials. BTW Dudajev was living in Estonia for a long time (before he started fighting for Chechen independence), being the head of Russian air forces located in Estonia. Now the building where he was working has been reconstructed as an hotel, and there is a special Dudajev suite, in case someone is visiting Estonia :) Estonian people are also very supportive for Chechen fight for independence.
