| St.Petersburg, October 24, 2002. Deputy Chairman of the YABLOKO
party and deputy of the State Duma Sergei Mitrokhin, who is now
at the headquarters formed owing to the seizure by a group of
armed people of a theatre, showing the Nord-Ost musical in Moscow,
called on the mass media not to disclose the details of possible
actions by forces from the security agencies and bodies responsible
for internal affairs. This information was provided by the Ekho
Moskvi radio station.
"According to our data, the terrorists carefully screen
all the TV channels. Unfortunately, some of the channels have
already released information which can provoke them to use force,
which will in turn result in victims," noted Mitrokhin. Mitrokhin
is convinced that "there is no way we can allow this to happen."
