MOSCOW - Russian police and FSB special service have seized a load of books allegedly linking the FSB to deadly bombings in 1999 that led to the current war in separatist Chechnya, the books sellers said.
Some 4,400 issues of the book entitled FSB blows up Russia and authored by former FSB agent Alexander Litvinenko, now exiled in Britain, were confiscated en route from the western city of Pskov to Moscow, Alexander Podrabinek of the Prima news agency said late Monday.
FSB officials said the books were seized as anti-government propaganda, Podrabinek explained, adding that the seized loads whereabouts were unknown.
Prima ordered the books, which were printed in Latvia, for sale in Russia, in what Podrabinek said was a legal transaction observing all customs formalities.
Litvinenko, a former lieutenant colonel, charges the FSB with involvement in the bombings on September 9 and 13, 1999 which destroyed two buildings in Moscow, killing more than 200 people.
The FSB repeatedly denied any involvement in the attacks.
Nearly 300 people died in four explosions in Russia in mid-1999, attacks that led to the launch of the ongoing war in Chechnya.
The war in Chechnya prompted a wave of nationalism that swept Vladimir Putin, then the Russian prime minister, to the presidency half a year later.
Litvinenko obtained political asylum in London after blowing the whistle on an alleged plot by the FSB to assassinate the self-exiled tycoon and Kremlin insider Boris Berezovsky, who had supported the conspiracy theory behind the bombings.
Litvinenko was sentenced in absentia last month to a three-and-a-half-year suspended jail term in Russia for abuse of authority.

*******
Just as Adolf Hitler before him, the jackbooted ex-KGB thug Putin burns books exposing his role in state-sponsored genocide. Now the greatest fighter on the face of this earth -- Shamil Basayev -- has given the Russian Federation a February 1st deadline to withdraw forces north of the Terek River or face annihilation.
Russian intelligence operations in Dagestan have constantly been exposed by the few independent media willing to venture to Chechnya. There they also witness Russian genocide against the Chechen nation. Spurned by liberal elements in the US State Department, Basayev with no choice but to deal with less desirable Islamic elements for weapons and support to defend his people from extinction.
Dry is good and wind is better...
Putin nothing but a Moscow killer wearing a cheap suit and bad haircut. The Russian Federation with but 32 days before Allah's Suitcase pops open -- and Basayev's laundry quite "dirty" they say...
To exercise free speech in Russia is to sign your own death warrant yet freedom fighters continue to fight for independence in the south. Unlike in Iraq the US knows where the Russian WMD are located -- the Russian Federation must be decapitated so that all men may live free.
Happily American conservative elements have once again initiated aid to the Chechen nationalists. The pipeline is as the pipeline does -- Shamil Basyev the proverbial one-legged man in the a** kicking contest...
The forces of freedom on the move. Europe trembles.
Really and who they be? CAIR? By way, Fused, 1 Feb approach, let us see you be gas bag as usual.
A clear message for the Israelis By Mohammed A. R. Galadari 28 December 2003 THIS time the commandos (fedayeen) of the Islamic resistance movement, the Hamas, did not put on explosive belts around their waists.
Quite the opposite, ten of them were adorned in Santa Claus uniform and handed out gifts to the Christian orphans in their city on the occasion of Christmas and New Year's Eve. It was a kind gesture and deeply and warmly appreciated by the Christian community. Pope Attallah Hanna, spokesman of the Orthodox Church in occupied Jerusalem said: Lie, Hanna is defrocked, he say what he want but he not talk for Orthodox! 'We thank them (Hamas) for this humanitarian move and salute their compatriotic feelings, devotion to the service of the Palestinian citizen and the defending of their identity, existence and firm presence on this holy land.' We, he meant the Israelis, live in this homeland as one Arab Palestinian family. He added: 'Our joy or celebration for any feast, whether Islamic or Christian, would not be genuine or complete unless occupation departs off our lands and holy sites.'
The above is a reflection of a number of facts: the Palestinian citizen is steadfastly connected with, and deep-rooted in his land. Moreover, the past Islamic movements and forays did not have any effect on the unity of its people, Muslims or Christians. They firmly believe that they are all Arabs and Palestinians, who lived together, bought and sold from one another and shared the same habits and traditions. Not much difference can be found in the customs or costumes of a Palestinian house, whether the household is Muslim or Christian. This is the product of the Islamic culture, which distinguishes between the rights of citizenship with no preferential treatment of an individual over the other. They all lived as Palestinians.
This is a clear message for the Israelis: the Palestinians have always co-existed with them regardless of their creeds. It is also a conclusive proof that the Palestinian citizen is not radical -or extremist, as he allows others to co-exist with him. The Muslim accepts to share his life with the Christian and the latter agrees to co-exist side by side with the former. The question to ask here: 'isn't it possible for all the Palestinian Muslims and Christians to accept Israeli Jews as their neighbours?
I believe it is possible, as the principle of 'acceptance of others' is already present. Needless to say that the Jews have lived in the Arabian region for years and were kindly treated. However, the imperial avarice and colonial rapacity stand as obstacle before such a combination. It is hindered by the continuous attempts to usurp the remaining Palestinian lands, one time for the benefit of the Jewish settlements and another on account of a 'security wall'.
Israel must give up the delusion that by force it can create reality. Political disputes can never be resolved by force regardless of the extent to which it may reach. Israel must deal with the existing Palestinian Authority, led by Yasser Arafat, without betting on someone to overthrow him, unless it is done through purely democratic means.
Palestinian Muslims and Christians were never stirred up against each other. And here, we see the members of Hamas, the group most devoted and adhering to the Islamic identity, dressed in Santa Claus's uniform and sharing with their Christian brothers their celebrations, in spite of the daily tragedies the Palestinians experience.
I, together with many Arabs, who are steeped in its mysteries and well-versed in its riddles other than anyone else, am certain that the resolve of the Palestine-Israel conflict is the key to stability in the entire Middle East region, including Iraq.
Because replying to him is too much fun and I like his unique writing style!
And fed $6 million to Chechens, and gave monies to Soros, and gave monies to Russian Communist Party...very interest fellow....his friends (Friends of Gore) want to destroy US president, but since he also against Putin, it all ok?
Pericles breaks down the timeline of invasions and shows that the Clinton administration had more of a hand in the Chechen attacks than the FSB @ http://www.freerepublic.com/forum/a3b47a7501843.htm#32
Yeah, sure. Russian government invaded itself in Dagestan to make Muslim extremists look bad. And the kindappings, slave trade in Chechnya, bombings of apratment buildings in Moscow, seizing of hospitals etc, was also staged. So was September 11 a conspiracy of US to frame saintly Osama. Everybody knows that Wahhabis in Chechnya, KLA and Al-Quida are innocent lambs and victims of Christian genocide.
