RUSSIAN President Dmitry Medvedev introduced a new top police post yesterday to oversee transport security a week after a suicide bomber killed 35 people at Moscow's biggest airport.
Medvedev appointed Interior Ministry General Viktor Kiryanov, currently head of traffic police, to the post in a move seen by analysts as a bureaucratic reshuffle designed to mask the state's inability to prevent such attacks.
"I believe that within the Interior Ministry we need to optimize work on transport security ... Therefore I decided to create another deputy interior minister position," Medvedev said.
Medvedev said that Kiryanov had experience dealing with road safety and had the competence to improve safety and security on air, rail and water transport infrastructures which can be targeted by attackers.
Medvedev fired several transport police officers but left top officials in their posts after the January 24 bombing at Moscow's Domodedovo airport, which authorities said was carried out by an attacker from the insurgency-plagued North Caucasus.
