Russia's security chief told President Vladimir Putin that Basayev had been killed in a special operation, while a rebel-connected website said Basayev had died in an accidental explosion. Ingush authorities said the explosion occurred mistakenly during a special police operation against rebels.
The ITAR-Tass news agency, citing an unidentified law enforcement official in southern Russia, reported that Basayev had been killed by a missile that homed in on his cellphone — the method used to kill Chechen separatist president, Dzhokhar Dudayev, in 1996.

man, I really, really hate to say this.
the drone is flying at a perfect speed (I know planes travel at a constant rate) and in a perfect line. no turbulence, etc. I know it would be hard to see via this camera etc, but something just feels wrong with this. (cgi?)
that's for sharing though. just two tiny copper pennies.
You have copper pennies?!

I have to say after watching the video and seeing how interested in it the guy was, why did he not carry on filming it? It flew out of shot and he thought a empty field was more interesting. Im not saying I think its CGI, just that it was a bit strange.

You know, the problem here is that it may not matter in the long run if this one is fake or not. There isn't really a debate about the aircraft flying over the U.S. now.

We're just questioning the video of one carrying actual weapons pods. With everything going on at the NATO Summit to secure the place for so many national leaders and military heads to be there at once, this wouldn't be all that out of context. Regardless... It's probably only a matter of time, if this one isn't the real deal.
All the same though, I am looking forward to hearing what an analyst can add too!
