Militants that are connected to al-Quaida and Chechen separatists threatened the Russian ambassador in India Vyacheslav Trubnikov

Indian newspaper The Hindustan Times reported on Tuesday that militants from local extremist groups that are connected to al-Quaida and Chechen separatists threatened the Russian ambassador in India Vyacheslav Trubnikov. According to the newspaper the ambassador asked the Ministry of Internal Affairs of India for permission to have armed security. Until the decision is taken the Russian ambassador is guarded by two armed officers from the local police. The story takes an interesting turn because of the ambassador's personality who was the head of the Foreign Intelligence Service of Russia from 1996 till 2000. His ex-colleagues from the Indian intelligence services confirmed that he was in danger.

Vyacheslav Trubnikov resigned from the position of the head of the Foreign Intelligence Service in May 2000 together with other heads of federal authorities. This was due to the assumption of an office by new president in accordance with the Constitution. Trubnikov was not invited to the newly formed government. Sergey Lebedev was appointed the head of the Foreign Intelligence Service. In July 2004 Vyacheslav Trubnikov was appointed Russian ambassador in India.

According to Indian mass media, after a year of working as a diplomat, Trubnikov became an object of interest for Indian extremist groups that are closely connected to al-Quaida and Chechen militants. What is meant here are the so-called Army of the Clean (Lashkar-e-Tayyeba) and Army of Mohammed (Jaish-e-Mohammed), which are based in Kashmir and oppose the Indian armed forces.
