Belarus Says Polish Embassy Is Spy Headquarters

8 February 2006 -- The Belarusian counterintelligence service, the KGB, has accused the Polish Embassy in Minsk of spying.

In a program broadcast yesterday on Belarus state television, an unnamed KGB officer said that the Polish Embassy had become a headquarters for foreign secret services.

On the same program, a KGB spokesman said that foreign spies have stepped up their activities in Belarus ahead of the upcoming presidential elections. He said there was a concerted effort to "create scandals" that would undermine the country's stability.

Polish Embassy officials in Minsk criticized the report, which they said was aimed at creating a rift between Poland and Western countries.

President Alyaksandr Lukashenka is running for a third term in the 19 March election.

The Polish government has been among the most outspoken critics of Lukashenka's regime.

They copied Putin's schema, just replaced U.K. with Poland..

[Lukasz]

This is not first that kind of action of Belarusian KGB and not last for sure.

They copied also islamofascist scheme with US being the great satan and Poland as the small one (replacing Israel).


And there is a Big Brother behind the scene, of course. :-)

Let's hope the Poles have better luck than the Brits did with their rock.

BTW, how can you tell if you're being watched by a Polish spy? He'll come over and ask you to move closer to the window so he can get a better shot.

JUST KIDDING! : )

What?!? How dare you! For that, I'm going to riot and throw petrol bombs at the West Virginia embassy! And by that I mean any International House of Pancakes on I-79.

LOL - OK, but still it seems Polish programmers are better than American. NO KIDDING! :)

TopCoder attracts programmers by offering cash prizes and the chance for a job interview at a sponsoring tech company. In other words, if you prove yourself better than everyone else in the world -- and please, don't feel any pressure here -- you might get a job out of it. Incidentally, the contest could be another data point in the newly re-energized discussion of declining American technical competitiveness. Three years ago, 90% of the top 50 TopCoders were American. Now, the figure is 12%, and the U.S. ranks fourth, behind Russia, Poland and Canada.
