Russian Official: ‘Terrorist Trained in Georgia’

The Russian Deputy Interior Minister accused Georgia of harboring militant groups. The allegation comes two weeks after the Russian Federal Security Service claimed that militants in Russia’s North Caucasus were receiving funding including from Georgia.

“Terrorist groups are trained at military bases in Georgia by foreign instructors to carry out terrorist acts on the territory of Russian Federation,” RIA Novosti news agency reported quoting Russia’s Deputy Interior Minister Arkady Yedelev as saying at a meeting with police officials in Vladikavkaz, North Ossetia, on January 14.

He said that Russia’s North Caucasus republics of Dagestan, Chechnya, Ingushetia, Kabardino-Balkaria and Karachay-Cherkessia were the potential targets of the attacks.
