RUSSIAN OFFICIAL SLAMS INTL \"DOUBLE STANDARDS\" ON TERROR
By empty (7/27/2005 issue of the CACI Analyst)
Russia is preparing a set of new laws on terrorism, but \"double standards on the forms of terrorism\" hinder the drafting of international anti-terror agreements, a senior Russian Justice Ministry official said on Wednesday. \"Today there is no common definition of terrorism, and each country is free to interpret this notion on the basis of its own political interpretations of various facts. As a result, events in Chechnya and acts by bandit groups on Russian territory are interpreted as rebel actions, while similar actions in other countries are considered terrorist acts,\" Yevgeny Zabarchuk said.Visit also
