Reuters: Russian spy service says US grooming militants to attack Russia
* Militants from groups affiliated with Daesh and Al-Qaeda had been recruited and were undergoing training at an American base in Syria
MOSCOW: Russia’s foreign spy service said on Monday that it had received intelligence that the US military was grooming Islamist militants to attack targets in Russia and the former Soviet Union.
Russia’s Foreign Intelligence Service, headed by an ally of President Vladimir Putin, said it had intelligence that 60 such militants from groups affiliated with Daesh and Al-Qaeda had been recruited and were undergoing training at an American base in Syria.
“They will be tasked with preparing and carrying out terrorist attacks against diplomats, civil servants, law enforcement officers and personnel of the armed forces,” said the Foreign Intelligence Service, known by the initials SVR.

WNU Editor: A part of me finds it hard to believe that Al Qaeda or Islamic State militants would want to work with the US. But I then realize that the US would use a third party just like they used the Pakistanis in the 1980s to arm the Mujahadeen in Afghanistan when they were fighting against the Soviets in the 1980s.
To say that the conflict between Russia and the U.S. is getting hotter with each passing day is an understatement.

Who wasn't fighting the Soviets in Afghanistan?
Saudi Arabia
Pakistan
the gulf States
Britain
US
China
Iran
were all fighting the USSR in Afghanistan. Some people got more press than others.
Maybe the problem is with the USRR, Russia or people like WNU?
"Although the mujahideen were aided by the Pakistani, American, British, Chinese and Saudi governments, the mujahideen's primary source of funding was private donors and religious charities throughout the Muslim world—particularly in the Persian Gulf. Jason Burke recounts that "as little as 25 per cent of the money for the Afghan jihad was actually supplied directly by states."
Here is a question for WNU. when the Chinese were supplying the Mujaheddin in Afghanistan, did WNU's Chinese contacts laugh behind his back?
Those guys will fight for anyone if the price is right. The CIA and
Mi6 have no problems hiring anyone, as long as they kill.
Spot on
Baader Meinhoff Gang has 5 star accommodations in East Berlin. East Germany was involved and you know the Russia were as well. Was Putin involved?
Russia Supported many terrorist groups. Baader Meinhoff was not the only one.
No longer clutching pearls over the term 'state sponsor of terrorism' then? Or was that dropped after nordstream?
Hitler was not dead yet and the USSR/Russia was sponsoring groups.
Not the world I wanted. I married a communist after all. Rodney King's question comes to mind.
Well, if I cannot have that, then a troll head will have to suffice.

No propaganda Pete. The Russians did not. But, The Soviet Union under the leadership of those two lovely Ukrainians, Brezhnev and Khrushchev did.
Baader Meinhooff gang members just happened to cross into East Germany illegally and the Russians and East Germans knew nothing about it.
Yeah right,
I have a bridge to sell you

You failed out of torture and interrogation school, so they gave a consolation prize. You are a troll. that job is better than being kicked to the curb.
