Apparently he was indeed a terrorist. Via Interfax:

NALCHIK. June 27 (Interfax) – Two men, who were on Russia’s wanted list as suspected members of illegal armed groups, were killed in a special operation near the central mosque in downtown Nalchik, the capital city of the Russian North Caucasus republic of Kabardino- Balkaria, a local law enforcement source told Interfax.

One of those killed might be Ruslan Odizhev, a former Guantanamo base prisoner, the source said.

Gateway Pundit is reporting that Odshiev had been involved in terror bombings as far back as 1999 against Russian targets. Could this be why we’re reluctant to close down Gitmo, hippies?
