Russia - Terror letters ‘hoax’
Print Edition
Russia urged other countries on Thursday to ignore letters threatening an attack on next month’s Winter Olympics in Sochi, calling the threats a hoax.
The host nation echoed international Olympic officials who said no danger is posed by the messages making a “terrorist threat” received by national Olympic committees in the United States and at least five European countries.
“I think this is a provocation ... and we recommend that our colleagues from other countries pay no attention,” Russian Olympic Committee chief Alexander Zhukov said.
After suicide bombings killed 34 people, Russia has reiterated the games, near the North Caucasus, will be safe.
