“Dirty” WMD Documents Reported Found in Chechnya

Documents with details on producing “dirty” radiological, chemical and biological weapons have turned up in Chechnya, Gen. Yuri Baluyevsky, head of the Russian General Staff, said yesterday (see GSN, May 6).

Russia needs to boost its efforts to prevent an attack using such weapons, he said.

“Terrorism is seeking ways of creating weapons of mass destruction, which forces us to take preventive steps,” Baluyevsky said.
