The Federal Security Service (FSB) on 4 February handed over to the Prosecutor-General\'s Office a list of 15 Russian and international organizations that have been officially deemed \"terrorist organizations\" by the Russian government, RIA-Novosti reported. Most of the organizations on the list are based in the Middle East and at least seven of them are also on a similar list compiled by the U.S. State Department, including Al-Qaeda, the Taliban, and the Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan. Russia\'s list, however, does not include some U.S.-listed Palestinian organizations. The FSB list does include two Chechen extremist organizations -- the Supreme Military Majlisul Shura of United Mojaheds of the Caucasus, which is headed by Chechen field commander Shamil Basaev, and the Congress of Peoples of Daghestan and Ichkeria, whose co-leaders are Basaev and his ideologue Movladi Udugov.
