"The sailor said he had access to top secret naval equipment and could sink [the submarine] if he got the chance. He emphasized that he was willing to die for Allah in order to help his Islamic brothers who were fighting against a common enemy."

At the end of January 2002, Colonel of Justice Artur Yegiyev told the Moscow Rossiyskaya Gazeta that the investigation failed to yield any information that would allow the Russians to say an act of terror or sabotage had been committed.

Discouraging news.

Don't cry to me about millions of innocent lost lives, others here are ready to nuke any country you can name without any thought about innocents in those countries. How many people on Free Republic were shouting Nuke Afghainstan??? What about the millions of innocents there? Or is there like some differentiation between nukeable innocents and non nukeable innocents? If so, give me the specifics ....

Besides that, you don't think the Russian government wouldn't stab the US in the back if the incentive was great enough and the chance for retaliation small?? They'd do it in a heartbeat ..
