Acting Foreign Minister Igor Ivanov has denounced as a \"provocation\" the arrest in Qatar of three Russian special-services employees accused of involvement in the 13 February car bombing that killed former Chechen acting President Zelimkhan Yandarbiev. Qatar\'s Interior Ministry announced on 25 February that two of the three suspects detained for questioning since 19 February have been charged with murder, but he did not identify them. \"Our country has nothing to do with the indicated incident,\" Ivanov said in a statement posted on the Foreign Ministry\'s website. \"Therefore the attempts by the Qatari authorities to shift responsibility for the attack on Yandarbiev to the Russian citizens they arrested is without any foundation. They were not in any way involved in the incident. The Qatari authorities\' insinuations cannot be seen as anything other than a provocation.\" The statement demanded that Qatar \"immediately free the illegally detained Russian citizens and allow them to return to their homeland unimpeded.\" (newsru.com)
