#2 More from MOSNEWS: One of the detained was a Belarus citizen, 30-year-old Sergei Malyshev, who took the name of Amin al-Ansari after converting to Islam, Alonso said. Malyshev is said to be a chemical weapons expert. According to the information provided by European secret services, he took part in militant operations in Chechnya, Afghanistan and Pakistan.

Other members of the cell were citizens of Lebanon, Egypt, Ghana, Algeria, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, France and Spain as well as eight Moroccans. The cell was allegedly led by a 25-year-old Iraqi who identified himself as M. Hiyag, the ministry said, adding that he had âvery close accessâ to Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, the Jordanian-born militant who leads al-Qaeda in Iraq and is blamed for most of the terror attacks against the U.S.-led coalition.
