ISSN 1563-9479 US human rights report hurts bilateral ties, says Russia MOSCOW: Moscow denounced on Friday an official US report criticizing the state of human rights in Russia, saying it smacked of double standards and could damage relations between the states. The annual report released on Wednesday by the US State Department was "not objective" and posed a threat to "the normal development" of relations between the governments, the foreign ministry said here in a statement. Its spokesman, Mikhail Kamynin, pointedly mentioned allegations of US rights abuse in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Mystery illness besieges children in war zone By KIM MURPHY Los Angeles Times SHELKOVSKAYA, Russia - It started just after the midafternoon recess. As they lined up to return to class, Zareta Chimiyeva saw a girl in front of her collapse and begin convulsing wildly. Only a few minutes later, Zareta was at her desk when she said she smelled ''a bad smell'' and started feeling ill. She rushed out of the classroom but made it only as far as the stairs. ''Darkness surrounded me, and there was darkness in my eyes, and I fell,'' said the 12-year-old from this small town in eastern Chechnya. When Zareta woke up in a hospital, it took three adults to hold her down. She was thrashing and clutching her throat, unable to ... >> full...

The following is the text of the report headlined "Organizing the Nalchik rebellion by an armed unit of young worshippers was the latest successful operation by the special services".

From: MSN NicknameEagle_wng (Original Message) Sent: 3/11/2006 6:02 AM Terror begets still more terror in Russian-Chechen War The number 907 is the only link, the only piece of evidence Zara has to her missing 31-year-old son Ruslan. It was February 2003 in the Chechen village of Pervomayskaya. He was headed to a neighbor's house to watch a boxing match on television. That same night, she says, Russian security forces surrounded the house and took away her son. She has not seen or heard from him since. "The neighbor says the men were wearing Russian camouflage and arrived in Russian tanks and trucks," says Zara. "Only one, probably a Chechen, was wearing a ski mask." She says she remembers seeing a number on the license plate of one of the Russian trucks: 907. Since that time, Zara says she has written hundreds of letters mentioning the number 907 to everyone from Russian President Vladimir Putin to members ... >> full...
