CNN cites Wikipedia

CNN repeatedly cites Wikipedia in this article on the Russian hostage-taking allegedly planned by Shamil Basayev.

During the rebel pullout from Grozny in January 2000 Basayev lost a foot after stepping on a landmine, according to the Wikipedia Web site, but he and other rebel fighters eluded Russian capture by hiding in forests and mountains.
