European Union troops had taken most of the day to track down the President of Russia, Boris Luzhkov, but track him down they did. Something that would not have been possible without the aid of the Russian people, people who had just lost sons, husbands and brothers, for no apparent reason other than to assuage Luzhkov's need for revenge. Now they were some twenty miles outside of Moscow in thick spruce forest approaching one of the old dachas from the days of the old politburo. As they moved silently through the undergrowth a dim light came into view, flickering between the trees. The light became the target and the Special Forces, led by a captain of the British Special Air Services (SAS) moved with stealth to surround the dacha and secure every window and door. At a pre- arranged time a fire door was blown open and ten of the squad dashed into the building, opening doors and throwing 'flash-bangs' into each room. They found Luzhkov hiding under a bed in the attic, a room that had once been occupied by a servant, the bed was overturned and Luzhkov physically dragged out, taken down the stairs and formally arrested.
A radio message brought the transportation in to land on the overgrown front lawn. Within thirty minutes Luzhkov was in the air and being transferred to Geneva to face a special court for his war crimes, together with the leaders of the other countries that had joined the Islamic axis. The world was once again free from war, but not conflict.
