FSB Thwarted WMD Spies
Abstract:
Russian security services have frequently claimed to uncover foreign spying and planned attacks by rebels, but rarely give details on attempts to steal secret data on weapons of mass destruction.
"We discovered that foreign intelligence agencies from the West and Asia were interested in nuclear energy, biological information and cutting-edge scientific developments in the field of nanotechnology," he said, RIA nanotechnology.
Russia, which has the second biggest store of nuclear weapons in the world after the United States, says its weapons arsenals are carefully guarded.
