	Who was Movsar Barayev?
		Barayev was a leading exponent of Wahhabism, the extreme form of fundamentalist Islam founded in Saudi Arabia and imported to Chechnya by Arab volunteers.
		An investigation carried out by this reporter for Moscow News in 2000 revealed that by this time Barayev senior had amassed a fortune of several million dollars from ransoms and many were already suspecting that he had powerful patrons in Moscow, without whom his bloody business could not have flourished.
		Neither Maskhadov nor Barayev was capable of organising an operation like this in the centre of Moscow, analysts say, and the trail is more likely to lead to people close to Yandarbiev and Udugov, both of whom are now believed to be resident in the Gulf state of Qatar.

		MOSCOW — Boldly appearing as the only hostage-taker without a mask, rebel leader Movsar Barayev was known more for his brutal exploits as a gun-for-hire than any devotion to the Islamic cause.
		In the only television pictures from inside the theater during the raid, taken early Friday by Russia's NTV, Barayev was wearing camouflage fatigues and loosely cradled a Kalashnikov rifle on his lap -- his hands away from the trigger.
		Whatever his childhood was like, Barayev's youthful innocence likely ended around the time he was 15 -- when the first of Russia's two wars in Chechnya began.
