MOSCOW (Reuters) - Chechen rebels called on Tuesday for prominent separatist leader Akhmed Zakayev to be killed, saying he had abandoned Islam by recognizing the legitimacy of the restive region's Kremlin-backed government.

Zakayev, who lives in London, represents the moderate wing of the separatist movement and has clashed with radical Islamist insurgents in Russia's southern republic of Chechnya.

Islamist rebel website www.kavkazcenter.com said Zakayav had recognized the authority of Ramzan Kadyrov, the Kremlin-backed leader of the region.

"Public remarks show that he (Zakayev) has fallen away from Islam," the website said, adding that Doku Umarov, Chechnya's most wanted separatist leader, was behind the order.

"The court has ruled that the killing of this apostate is a duty for Muslims." It did not say what court had issued the ruling.
