Man accused of plotting to kill Putin injured and wife killed in Ukraine attack

A Chechen volunteer soldier previously accused of plotting to kill Vladimir Putin has been wounded and his wife killed when their car was attacked near Kiev.

Amina Okuyeva died and her husband Adam Osmayev was injured when their car was hit by a hail of bullets while crossing a railroad track, said Ukrainian interior ministry adviser Anton Gerashchenko.

Assassinations like this are relatively common in Ukraine and Turkey. We saw the latter, where that poor diplomat was killed in Turkey at that art show.  Just in the last week or 2, a targeted car bomb blew up in Kyiv (Kiev) but it didn't kill it's target.
