RUSSIA CALLS BASAYEV TV INTERVIEW SUPPORT FOR TERRORISTS
By empty (2/4/2005 issue of the CACI Analyst)
Moscow regards the airing of an interview with Chechen warlord Shamil Basayev on British TV as direct media support for terrorists, the Russian Foreign Ministry said in a Friday press release. \"We consider the step as direct information support for terrorists operating in the North Caucasus,\" the ministry said. \"In the present conditions, any attempts to justify giving a platform to terrorists, whose hands are stained with the blood of innocent victims, including children, by references to freedom of speech look cynical, to put it mildly,\" the ministry said.Visit also
