Omar (Umar) Sheikhulayev (Russian: Умар Магомедович Шейхулаев, 5 June 1975 - 5 February 2009) also known as Emir Muaz,[1] was the militant leader of the Vilayat Dagestan of the Caucasus Emirate, in the volatile southern Russian republic of Dagestan.[1]

Biography

Omar was a close associate of Rappani Khalilov and Rasul Makasharipov.[2] In December 2008 Dokku Umarov appointed him leader of the Shariat Jamaat as a successor to the slain Ilgas Malachiyev. He was accused of killing Deputy Chief of Staff of the North Regional Command of Internal Troops of the Russian Federation, Major General Lipinsky.[3]

He was killed on 5 February 2009 in a fierce shoot-out with the Russian security forces outside of Makhachkala.[4]
