MOSCOW, September 8 (RIA Novosti) - Russia would accept international help in finding Chechen terrorist Shamil Basayev, a Russian anti-terrorism official said Thursday.

"Basayev's end is inevitable. I am sure it will happen and we will not turn down help on this," said Anatoly Safonov, the special representative of the Russian president for international cooperation in the fight against terrorism and organized crime.

Moscow is actively conducting talks with the international community over Basayev, who is on the UN Security Council's terrorist list.

"We know that Basayev is within Russia's territory, in Chechnya," he said.

Basayev's movements are being monitored, and if he was to attempt to leave the country, he would be caught, Safonov said.
