Sources for El País: The Kremlin sent its assassins  
 
Assassins sent by Russia shot dead defected fighter pilot Maksim Kuzminov in Spain last week, according to Spanish intelligence reports published by El País newspaper.  
 
After shooting him, the killers ran him over with their own car, which was found burnt.  
 
Spanish diplomatic sources state that Spain views the information very seriously and that it intends to "respond forcefully" if Moscow's involvement is confirmed.  
 
According to intelligence, the assassins have already left Spain.  
 
It was last August that Kuzminov flew his Russian Mi-8 helicopter to a Ukrainian base and turned himself in.
