Belarusian KGB investigating new Chernobyl accident rumors 11:00, 10/06/2005, Interfax
The Belarusian KGB is attempting to establish the origin of an organization called the National Liberation Army, which, according to information available on the Internet, claimed responsibility for an accident at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant that allegedly occurred in late May.
"We were very alarmed by these rumors, we already have information about where the statement was put on the Internet from. We are doing all we can to investigate," First Deputy KGB Chairman Vasily Dementei told journalists on Thursday.
"It is hard to say how serious the aims of those who distributed this information were," Dementei said.
He did not rule out the possibility of information terrorism occurring in Belarus in the future. "The KGB is generally concerned over the various rumors that have been spread in Belarus in general, such as an emergency in the Chernobyl station and pricks with AIDS-infected syringes in Brest and Minsk," Dementei said.
"All the rumors are unconfirmed, but criminal cases have been opened on them," Dementei said.
