Russian Defector Maxim Kuzminov Killed in Spain
-----------------------------------------------

In Spain, the body of a man who was found shot dead last week is
believed to be a Russian pilot who defected to Ukraine in a military
helicopter six months ago. Maxim Kuzminov's body was reportedly found in
an underground garage with multiple bullet wounds. In response to the
news, Russia's Foreign Intelligence Service director referred to
Kuzminov as a "traitor" and "moral corpse."
