Paul Rigby Wrote:Polyanichko’s slaying was only the latest in a regional string which claimed the lives of both active and nominally retired senior Soviet-era intelligence officers. In Armenia, only weeks before, seventy year-old Marius Yuzbashian, head of the Armenian KGB for a decade (1978-1988), had been “shot three times in a park near his home” (13); while in June, Ambartsum Kandilian, a former head of Armenian railways by now lecturing at the country’s national security school, had been assassinated in his car (14). The assassinations point us to the dark, and, in the West, necessarily unexamined, heart of the grotesque oxymoron that is “liberal interventionism”: The assassinations, terrorism and organised ethnic pogroms which are the essential preludes to, and pretexts for, militarised “humanitarian” intervention by America and its client elites in Europe and elsewhere.

Terror in Moscow: The Wound that Cannot Heal
by Binoy Kampmark
Quote:The most devastating of the two attacks came at the Lubyanka station, where 23 people were slain. The other struck the Kultury metro station some 40 minutes after the first blast. Both targets had their predictable, symbolic significance, suggesting that most terrorists have at least some knowledge of semiotics. The first target was near the heart of Russia’s security service, the Federal Security Service (FSB), while the second is located near the centre of state sponsored journalism.
