They were on spying mission. Lost heads in a bungled attempt to rescue.

There was much speculation that the deaths had resulted from a bungled rescue attempt. Chechnya's president, Aslan Mashkadov, said he believed the kidnappers had been tipped off that security forces were closing in and decided to kill the hostages first.

His captor -rebel leader Arbi Barayev- was killed later. Family received compensation.
