French police believe the killing of a Chechen opposition blogger in a French hotel last week was "politically motivated," an official briefed on the case told Business Insider.

Imran Aliev, a 44-year-old blogger who was vocally opposed to Russian President Vladimir Putin and the Chechen leader Ramzan Kadyrov, died when his throat was cut in Lille, France, last week.

Police said they were hunting for Aliev's traveling companion, who disappeared shortly after the killing.

The man had traveled with Aliev from Belgium to Lille on January 29, the day before Aliev was found dead.

on Russia and was aware that being targeted was a possibility. This is old. Russians and russian experts have been worn down and only the very bravest people take on the truth about Putin. These deaths are examples made to wear down opposition even more...and not speak the whole truth to not be provocative, self censorship.......this decade outside of Russia. I wonder what Trump will say?

"Can you send me an English translation of the instruction manual?"

6. Putin is a full-service assassin

Polonium and other exotic poisons are in his inventory, too, don't forget. When it comes to Chechens, I guess he likes to use local traditional "remedies."
