Russia's security service says it paid a $10m (£5.2m) bounty for information that led to the killing of Chechen rebel leader Aslan Maskhadov.
The service "was approached by citizens who gave the necessary data" on his whereabouts, a spokesman told the AFP news agency.
The Russians said Maskhadov was killed last week in Chechnya, when troops found a bunker where he was hiding.
Russia offered a $10m reward for his capture in 2004.
