Russers arrest 30 for aiding and abetting...
2002-10-30
Russian security forces arrested Tuesday, October 29, thirty Russian citizens - including several security officers - on suspicion of helping the Chechen terrorists fighters who took 800 people hostage in a Moscow theater. The suspects include security officials and political advisers, accused of having allegedly colluded with the Chechen hostage-takers.
The Sovs aren't that far in the past. There are enough people experienced with the "old methods" still around to make these guys very unhappy. If not, they can bring some out of retirement...
Russian media have been reporting that the Chechen thugs fighters were briefed by security insiders about the authorities' handling of the crisis. Russian Interior Minister, Boris Gryzlov, said his forces were involved in an "unprecedented operation" to identify a network of helpers in Moscow and the surrounding area. A government-sponsored newspaper reported that the Chechen fighters had been briefed about what was going on outside by what it described as an "analytical center". The center was collecting information from various sources - including the rescue headquarters - processing it and sending instructions to the fighters.
Every person that charge can be proved against should be shot just as dead as the Chechens are. The word for that is "treason."

#1  If one of the security officers is proved to have helped the terrorists, they might bring back that quaint old KGB custom of slowly lowering him into a vat of acid while new KGB officers watch from a grandstand. Helps prevent anyone from doing this in the future.
