The new leader of the main Chechen rebel movement, Abdul-Khalim Sadullaev, says his men will no longer take hostages, attack civilians and, in general, do anything that smacks of terrorism.  Sadullaev succeeds former Chechen President  Aslan Maskhadov, who was killed by Russian troops three months ago.
