Published in News Digest

By empty (10/14/2005 issue of the CACI Analyst)

Russia expressed anger on Friday because British media allowed Chechen separatist envoy Akhmed Zakayev, who has political asylum in the UK, to voice \"public support\" for Thursday\'s attack by militants on Nalchik, the capital of the Russian region of Kabardino-Balkaria. \"This propagandist of terrorism, this terrorist instigator again expressed public support for terror, for the barbaric actions of the militants in Kabardino-Balkaria. Once again, he openly and blatantly called for violence, for killing Russian civilians,\" Anatoly Safonov, the Russian presidential envoy for international cooperation in combating terrorism, said in a commentary on the Russian Foreign Ministry\'s website.
