YELTSIN ORDERS HEIGHTENED SECURITY.

President Yeltsin has ordered Russia’s security chiefs to take the "toughest possible measures" to ensure that Chechen rebels do not launch terrorist attacks in the Russian capital over the nine-day holiday period that starts in Russia tomorrow. Yeltsin’s press secretary said Yeltsin met Friday with top law enforcement officers to discuss security measures for the May 1 and May 9 Victory Day holidays, but gave no further details.
