Russian Security Agents are not Linked to Terrorist
Acts across Russia

The Liberal Russia party has presented a film, titled "Assassination on Russia", to the Russian public. The documentary sponsored by disgraced Russian businessman Boris Berezovsky was designed to reveal the Federal Security Service links to apartment building explosions in Moscow, Buinaksk and Volgodonsk. The Russian Prosecutor General's Office reports that "Assassination of Russia" doesn't contain any direct facts proving the FSB's association with those terrorist acts.
"No criminal proceedings will be initiated against the FSB officers who took part in exercises in Ryazan for there is no element of crime in their actions," Russian Deputy Chief Prosecutor Vasily Kolmogorov wrote in his reply to an inquiry of Sergei Yushenkov, co-chairman of the Liberal Russia party.
Kolmogorov also said that the film's authors tried to accuse the FSB of organizing the explosions of apartment buildings across Russia. However, the facts had been selected tendentiously and provided no convincing proof.
The Russian Prosecutor General's Office has established the identity of those who committed the terrorist acts in Moscow, Buinaksk and Volgodonsk. Some of the criminals have been detained and convicted. Others are on the federal wanted list. No facts proving that Russian senior officials were linked to those terrorist acts had been revealed, Kolmogorov wrote in his letter.
