The chief of Russia’s state security service said on Wednesday that terrorists were seeking access to nuclear materials across the former Soviet Union, Interfax news agency reported.Alexander Bortnikov, the chief of the FSB, the main successor to the Soviet-era KGB, gave no further details about the attempts or which groups had sought the materials
.”We have information which indicates that terrorists are continuing to attempt to get access to nuclear materials and biological and chemical components,” he was quoted as saying by Interfax. Reporting by Guy Faulconbridge, editing by Dmitry Solovyov
This is nothing new really! They have said publicly that they have been seeking to acquire nuclear weapons to use. Russia is not to be trusted in this. They are too tightly tied to Iran, Turkey, Syria, Hamas, and Hezbollah!
Like maybe Hamas or Chechin’s. In for a rupal in for a pound! We will fight them no matter.
There is nothing particularly new about this information except perhaps that it appeared in an Interfax report and was allegedly revealed by the chief of the FSB. On the one hand, Russia under Putin has been supporting terrorists against Israel and the West, suppressing Islamics within their own borders and now, Bortnikov has the temerity to state what any respectable intelligence organization would regard as a given: of course, terrorists are trying to obtain nuclear materials and technology. Russian assistance to Iran has helped the cause.
