I guess, due to the recession, 7DAYS fired all their real journalists and hired school kids to write their stories. Here is this one:

Two bodyguards wrestled with trained assassins - who are still at large - before they gunned down a Chechen military commander in Dubai on Saturday, Russian media said.
Both print and radio media have carried interviews with Isa Yamadayev, who said the bodyguards were injured as they fought to save Isa’s brother, Sulim.
Kommersant newspaper also cited Chechens living in Dubai as saying that Sulim’s Kazakhstan bodyguard was either pistol-whipped or hit by an electric shock as he rushed to block the first of three shots that hit Yamadayev.
Sulim reportedly tried to defend himself after the first shot but was gunned down.
The reports support an account given to 7DAYS by a man, who said his friend saw one of the pistol-whipped bodyguards waiting for ambulance beside Yamadayev’s blood-soaked body at Jumeirah Beach Residence.
Isa told the Russian media that he rushed to Dubai after hearing of the shooting. He initially hoped that his brother was still alive but police have confirmed that Sulim is dead.
The family are now planning to return his body to Chechnya for their second funeral in recent months. Another brother, Ruslan, was shot dead in Moscow in similar circumstances in September.
Both had been declared “enemies of the Chechen people” by their bitter enemy, Chechen president, Ramzan Kadyrov, and military forces loyal to both sides were in open conflict last year.
Meanwhile, Amnesty Intern-ational said it will closely monitor the investigation. An Amnesty spokeswoman said the human rights group would be seeking more information on the assassination.
