Chechen emissaries may have faked attacks on themselves - Russian security service

MOSCOW. Oct 16 (Interfax) - Incidents that happened at the houses of Chechen separatist emissary Akhmed Zakayev and former Russian security officer Alexander Litvinenko could be their own attempts to attract attention to themselves, spokesman for the Russian Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR) Boris Labusov told Interfax on Saturday.

The media reported that Molotov cocktails were thrown into Zaiayev's and Litvinenko's houses in the early hours of Friday. Litvinenko was quoted as saying that Russian special services might have had a hand in the incident.
