Russia Fumes Over Its Dismissed Additions to UN's Al-Qaida List
MOSCOW, September 13 (RIA Novosti) – Russia’s Foreign Ministry on Thursday criticized the UN Security Council’s recent refusal to extend the Al-Qaida Sanctions List on Moscow's request.
In March, Russia submitted a request asking the UN Security Council to add two names, Finish activist Mikael Storsjö and Soviet-born Sweden resident Isa Dzhabrailov, as wells as Turkish organization Imkander to the Al-Qaida Sanctions List, which contains the names of individuals and entities associated with the terrorist group from around the world.
According to remarks by the ministry on Thursday, the petition was rejected by Britain, France and Luxembourg on September 6.
“Clearly, this is further evidence of a disappointing policy of double standards and manipulation in what concerns the effectiveness of applied anti-terror UN Security Council's sanctions,” the ministry said.
