Russia accuses Western, Asian powers of WMD spying: report

Moscow (AFP) Jan 25, 2008
Russia's FSB secret service on Friday accused "Western and Asian spy agencies" of trying to obtain information on technology for making weapons of mass destruction, RIA Novosti news agency reported.

Russian agents "have uncovered spying attempts by Western and Asian spy agencies in enterprises specialising in nuclear energy, biology and nanotechnology work" in Siberia, RIA Novosti quoted an FSB statement as saying.

The report made reference to a spying incident in 2007 in Novosibirsk, a forested region located some 2,800 kilometres (1,740 miles) east of Moscow that is well-known in Russia for its research centres and specialist laboratories.

A Chinese national and several other foreigners were deported for trying to obtain information on technology for making weapons of mass destruction, RIA Novosti reported, citing the local head of the FSB, Sergei Savchenkov.
