Russian Security Council on Possible Georgian Link in Moscow Bombings

Russian Security Council Secretary Nikolai Patrushev said investigators looking into the Moscow metro bombings were working on all the possible versions, including Georgia’s possible involvement, reports Georgian news site Civil.ge.

In an interview with the Russian news agency Interfax, Patrushev was asked by the journalist: “There is an opinion that terrorist acts in Moscow could have been organized from abroad. Do you believe that?”

“All the versions need to be checked,” Patrushev responded. “For example, there is Georgia and its leader Saakashvili, whose actions are unpredictable.”

“Unfortunately, a number of countries provide him with support, including military assistance. We state that it is unacceptable. He has already waged a war once. It is not ruled out that he will do that again.”

“We had information that individual agents of Georgian special services were keeping contacts with terrorist organizations in the Russian North Caucasus. We need to check this version too in respect of the Moscow terrorist acts,” Patrushev added.
