Quote from article:
It is worth noting that Russian President Putin is a former head of Russia’s Federal Security Service (FSB), the renamed KGB. During the late 1990s, Russia’s foreign minister was Yevgeny Primakov, a KGB "Arabist" who was one of the chief architects of the international terrorist network. German analyst Hans Graf Huyn points out that "until 1985 Primakov was Director at the Moscow Institute for the Middle East (where he had studied). Together with Lumumba University, this Institute was active in establishing terrorist organizations in Northern Ireland, Libya, and the Near East." Primakov was also instrumental in building intelligence services for Iran and Iraq, which in turn support and control terrorist groups throughout the Middle East and Europe.
