From the BBC, with thanks to mediawatch and Dutch Cares.
French police have arrested a 25-year-old Chechen in connection with the murder of controversial Dutch filmmaker Theo van Gogh.Bislan Ismailov was arrested in Tours, central France, last week.
Dutch prosecutors want Mr Ismailov extradited as they suspect he was an accomplice of Van Gogh's alleged killer Mohammed Bouyeri - now awaiting trial.
Van Gogh, a critic of Islam, was shot and nearly decapitated in an Amsterdam street last November.
A militant Islamist diatribe was pinned to his chest with a knife, threatening the scriptwriter who had written his last film, which had denounced violence against women in Islamic society.
Dutch prosecutors claim that Mr Bouyeri, a Dutch Moroccan, was helped by Chechen separatists, among them Mr Ismailov.
Press reports say Mr Ismailov's fingerprints were found on a suicide note left behind by Mr Bouyeri...

"Anyone who denounces violence against women in Islam should be killed!"
There's a nice religion for you.
Catch the accomplices, and at least lock them up until the Mahdi arrives.
Or, as the HIDDEN IMAN says:
"There are no vowels in Arabic, so every sentence in the Koran is open to re-interpretation. Reform only requires someone unafraid of the violent lunatics who now control the text. Until they translate the word compassion into reality, they will remain in the shadows of the vicious mullah and maniacal ayatollahs. Wrench the Koran from the hands of madmen, or suffer the consequences."

I suggest that the title of this entry be changed from:
Chechen held over Van Gogh death
to:
Chechen held over Van Gogh Murder
It has already been established that there was a heinous crime committed; there could be no valid claim of editorializing were the title to be changed -- it would only be more accurate.
