Russia Arrests Alleged Terrorist


Sergei Krymgerei, an alleged member of prominent Chechen warlord Shamil Basayev's gang, was arrested by police acting on a tip, city police spokesman Filipp Zolotnitsky said. The suspect was carrying a champagne bottle full of the highly toxic substance when arrested, the Interfax news agency reported.

"Such an amount of mercury would poison a very large number of people," Zolotnitsky said on NTV television.
