It was not clear when the truck had been discovered. Security services have been on the watch for major terrorist attacks around the Victory in Europe day holiday on Monday celebrating the 60th anniversary of the Allied victory over the Nazis in Europe. Russia's (search <javascript:siteSearch('Russia');> ) Federal Security Service said Thursday that rebel leaders had planned attacks using poisons and toxic substances in large cities in the North Caucasus region, the Interfax news agency reported. A specially equipped cache containing a cyanide-based substance was discovered during the course of combat in an unnamed settlement, Interfax said, citing a statement from the Federal Security Service's press service. It said that a militant group operating in the Russian republic of Ingushetia, which borders on Chechnya, had been involved in the planned attacks. The leader of the group was a personal bodyguard of an "emissary" of international terrorists, Interfax said. http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,155560,00.html __________________________________________________ [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] ------------------------ Yahoo!
