DUBAI, March 30 (Reuters) - Russia's consul here identified a Chechen man assassinated in the United Arab Emirates at the weekend as Sulim Yamadayev, a prominent foe of Chechen president Ramzan Kadyrov.

Consul Sergei Krasnogor said relatives confirmed that the dead man was Yamadayev. "I just received confirmation from the Dubai police that he was killed," he said.
