Chechen Website Reports Death of Abu Hafs Al-Urduni

On November 27, 2006, a Chechen website supportive of the mujahideen announced the death of Abu Hafs Al-Urduni, a Jordanian-born jihad fighter described in the message as "a commander [of the mujahideen] in Chechnya." According to the message, Abu Hafs was killed Sunday, November 26, 2006, in a battle with Russian commando units. It should be noted that on October 16, 2006, Islamist websites posted a video in which Abu Hafs addressed the Muslims on the occasion of 'Eid Al-Fitr.
