Ukraine: Terrorists prepare an attempt on some European high-ranking official during a visit
Ukrainian news agencies report these days that president Yuschenko ordered Ukrainian national security department to enhance security for UN, OSCE and NATO Secretary Generals as well as Heads of Council of Europe, European Commission and International Criminal Court when they arrive to Ukraine on official visits.
Frankly speaking, it is no wonder that Ukrainian authorities got startled. Intelligencers of Ukrainian special service maintain that Islamic extremists are preparing an attempt on one of foreign high-ranking officials. Of course these have to travel a lot throughout the world and there are a lot of other places were they could be attacked by terrorists, but it is Ukraine in particular that Islamists find most convenient for an attack as it is here that they feel confident enjoying toleration and connivance and sometimes even approval of local authorities like Crimean Tartars do.
I think that with such state of things it might be too dangerous to visit Ukraine. First of all president Yuschenko must put things to rights within Ukraine. Imho before that, he must give up all thoughts of joining EU and NATO.
