Russia is reported to have detained two Qatar citizens - the day after
the Doha Government announced it had charged two Russians for the
murder of a former rebel Chechen leader, sparking fury in Moscow.
The state news agency quoted a Qatari Foreign Ministry official as
saying the ministry was in touch with Russian authorities over the
arrest of the two Qataris, both of whom were members of the national
wrestling team.
It said they were seized at Moscow airport on Thursday, the day Qatar
said it had charged two Russians with involvement in a car blast that
killed Zelimkhan Yandarbiyev in the tiny Gulf Arab state on February
13.
"They were detained on arrival in Moscow airport from Belarus on their
way to Serbia to participate in the qualifying tournament to prepare for
the 2004 Olympic Games," the agency said.
