Russian Forces Block Chechen Rebels Meanwhile, Russian military forces deployed in Chechnya have taken all measures to prevent Chechen rebels from conducting radiological attacks, a senior Russian military officer said (see GSN, Feb. 3). “In the course of the counterterrorist operation in Chechnya, the Russian top brass took some serious measures to prevent militants from staging terrorist acts with the help of radioactive materials,” said Maj. Gen. Alevtin Yunak, head of the Ecological Security of the Russian armed forces (RIA Novosti/European Internet Network, Feb. 14).
