Moscow (CNSNews.com) - Moscow’s decision to exclude Hizballah and Hamas from a newly published list of terrorist groups has raised concerns in Russia.

The country’s main security agency, the Federal Security Service (FSB), released a list of 17 organizations, but omitted the two Islamic groups that deny Israel’s right to exist.

Organizations that did make the list included those advocating the violent overthrow of the Russian government - and those with ties to extremists in the North Caucasus or to international terrorist organizations. The list includes al Qaeda and the Taliban.

She has a lot more great posts, dig through the July Archives just for a start. 

Me thinks we need to have someone watching that iron curtain while we are engaged in other areas of the world.
