Russia, Britain discuss Zakayev
05/10/2005 16:59
LONDON, October 5 (RIA Novosti) - The Russian-British summit in London touched on Chechen militant envoy Akhmed Zakayev, wanted by Russia on terrorism charges but granted political asylum in Britain, a Russian parliament member said.
"The goal is to address the fight against terrorism in a common framework," said Konstantin Kosachev, the chairman of the international affairs committee of parliament's lower house.
The committee members said terrorism had no national borders and had to be counteracted.
Britain said it intended to work on its national legislation to proceed against people who get involved in or encourage terrorism outside its borders.
