DUMA GROUP RAISES SUSPICIONS ABOUT U.S. ORGANIZATIONS IN RUSSIA.

Members of the Duma’s "Anti-NATO Group" have reportedly sent an official message to Russia’s foreign minister and Federal Security Service director inquiring whether the presence of large numbers of American organizations in Russia may not be a threat to the nation’s security. The inquiry links the American presence to NATO’s enlargement and suggests that the American organizations may actually be serving the interests of U.S. intelligence and other U.S. government agencies.
