Because Gitmo inmates are so warm and fuzzy
(In the case of his chin fur, literally.) From the Moscow Times:
"A man formerly held in the U.S. detention facility in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, was killed Wednesday in a shootout with security agents in Kabardino-Balkariya, the Federal Security Service said....The statement said (Ruslan) Odizhev was a suspect in the 1999 apartment bombings in Moscow and Volgodonsk and that he took part in a 2005 attack on police and government facilities in Nalchik, the capital of Kabardino-Balkariya. That attack left 139 people dead, including 94 militants.
The FSB said Odizhev was the 'spiritual leader' of Yarmuk, an Islamic extremist organization connected to an array of violence in the region.
The regional prosecutor's office said Odizhev was killed in Nalchik and that three homemade explosive devices were found on his body. ...Odizhev was one of seven Russians released from Guantanamo Bay in 2004."
