FSB deputy director names terror donor countries
A top Russian security official has accused Arab countries of financing terrorist activities in Russia. The Deputy Director of Russiaâs Federal Security Service (FSB), Vyacheslav Ushakov told the State Duma deputies here that many terrorist organisations active in Russia are being financed from the West Asian region, in particular, from Syria, Jordan and Saudi Arabia. Commenting on the situation in Chechnya, Ushakov said that a number of foreign organisations had intensified their work to destabilise the situation in the region and to turn Chechnya in one of the worldâs terrorist centres. Ushakov expressed the fear that there was a possibility that "terrorist acts might be committed on transport, the nuclear power plants and in the energy sector".Posted by: Dan Darling 2004-02-11 |
