We would like to remind that his brother, Sulim Yamadayev, was killed as a result of assassination attempt in Dubai in March 2009. Isa's other brother; the deputy of Russian State Duma Ruslan Yamadayev was shot dead in downtown Moscow in September 2008.
"I am next on a death-list of enemies of my family", Isa Yamadayev told in his interview to British newspaper The Times.
He expressed confidence that Ramzan Kadyrov is behind the murders of his brothers, Ruslan and Sulim, because "they refused to bow to his will". Until recently, Isa Yamadaev was saying that his brother Sulim did not die as a result of the assassination, but was injured, is he recovering now and would return to Russia.
"Sulim was warned several times. He was told to leave Russia and he lay low for a while. We were told that Kadyrov's people had sent a death squad to take him out", Isa said in interview.
After Ruslan Yamadayev was killed in Moscow, Sulim foretold his own murder by a hit squad. He was the sixth opponent of Kadyrov to die violently in quick succession, The Times notes.
The journalist, who spoke with Isa Yamadayev, writes: "ever mindful of the danger, he remains largely indoors with the blinds down, a gun close by and several armed bodyguards next door. Calmly, he predicted his own death..., and also swore vengeance", continues the author who visited Isa in his apartment on the outskirts of Moscow.
"Even if we're all killed, we are a big clan. The day will come when Kadyrov will face justice for what he has done. He'll end up in jail", Isa Yamadayev stated.
"Through the rule of law, justice will be done", he considers.
According to the British edition, the rivalry between Yamadayev and Kadyrov escalated a year ago when a convoy led by Badrudi, another of the Yamadayev brothers, collided with a 50-car motorcade accompanying Kadyrov.
Kadyrov demanded arrest of Badrudi and Sulim Yamadayev.
Tension between Kadyrovites and Yamadayevites grew as each clan was backed by "rival factions" in Moscow, The Times writes.
The subordinates of Ramzan Kadyrov, as well as people of Yamadayev brothers, the British newspaper notes, accused of carrying out abductions, torture and executions.
