Diplomat Questioned After Photographing Natural Gas Terminal
Aug 31, 2004 11:15 am US/Eastern
A high-level Russian diplomat was questioned and released after he was seen taking pictures of a liquefied natural gas terminal on the Calvert County waterfront.
The man, who has not been identified, has been living in the United States for six years.
State Police officials say the man's actions seemed very innocent. Lieutenant Homer Rich says the man appeared to be taking pictures of the Chesapeake Bay and wildlife with the gas terminal in the background.
Police were alerted after someone called 911.
Residents and state lawmakers have raised concerns that the liquid natural gas facility could be targeted by terrorists.
The facility is near the Calvert Cliffs Nuclear Power Plant.
WJZ's Alex DeMetrick will have more on the heightened state of security around sensitive facilities tonight on Eyewitness News.

I'm glad you reposted that as it initally surfaced on a busy day. It is so blatant it had to be a measured response to something else or a decoy mission.
