--The
Russian side has called on all the former Soviet republics to inspect
anti-missile systems at their disposal, so that they could be compared
with those confiscated from Chechen terrorists. In other words,
Moscow is trying to find out from which ex-soviet republics rockets
were delivered to Chechen terrorists.
"The Foreign Ministry sent appropriate diplomatic notes to all the
former USSR republics, first of all the Baltic states," Russian Defence
Minister Sergei Ivanov announced opening a session of the
Council of the CIS Countries' Defence Ministers on Wednesday. In
particular, the question is about Igla portable anti-missile rockets
(PZRK), the minister specified.
In the course of an anti-terrorist operation in Chechnya several dozens
of the Igla PZRK, bearing serial numbers, were confiscated from
terrorists, Ivanov recalled. Stressing that "such dangerous weapons
must not fall into the hands of terrorists" the Russian minister
announced his intention to clear up the way the terrorists had got
hold of the Iglas by the serial numbers.
According to him, this will contribute to joint efforts on fighting
terrorism and preventing new supplies of dangerous weapons to
terrorists in future. In this connection Ivanov suggested
discussing the issue of fighting terrorism apart from the official
agenda.
