Russian Ambassador in London Yury Fedotov said that Chechen separatist emissary Akhmed Zakayev, who is currently in exile in Great Britain, may be extradited to Russia. \"We are hoping the British side may revise its position regarding the question of extraditing Chechen separatist emissary Akhmed Zakayev in the light of the July bombings in London,\" Fedotov told Interfax on Thursday. In Great Britain, \"more and more people realize that the issue of fighting terrorism cannot be approached from a position of double standards,\" Fedotov said.
