Russia, Belarus join forces to fight terrorism 16:58, 15/09/2005
Special forces from the interior ministries of Russia and Belarus are holding joint antiterrorist exercises in the western Russian city of Smolensk, a Russian ministry spokesman said Thursday.
"The exercises, observed by Russian Interior Minister Rashid Nurgaliyev and his CIS counterparts, are taking place in three stages," the spokesman said.
He said the scenario would have the officers release hostages from inside the building seized by terrorists. The terrorists would then be dealt with before the troops went after the remaining terrorists in the area.
The exercises involve the Russian units Rus, Vityaz, Peresvet, Rys, the Smolensk region special police forces and Belarusian Almaz and Interior Ministry troops.
Officers from the Cobra Austrian anti-terrorist unit are observing the exercises.
