HANOI, Nov. 19 (Xinhua) -- Russia and the United States signed here Sunday a bilateral agreement on Russia's accession to the World Trade Organization (WTO) on the sidelines of the ongoing Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) Economic Leaders' Meeting.
Comment: So, we wonder what concessions and secret agreements were made between Russia and the US in order to achieve this deal? Will Russia change its course on Iran, or is it elsewhere?

Sun Nov 19, 2006 LONDON - A former Russian spy and fierce critic of Russian President Vladimir Putin was fighting for his life in a London hospital after an apparent bid to kill him by poisoning.
Alexander Litvinenko, a former lieutenant colonel in Russia's Federal Security Service (FSB) -- successor to the Soviet KGB -- fell ill after a November 1 meeting in a London sushi bar with a contact who purportedly had information on the murder of Russian journalist Anna Politkovskaya, said the Mail on Sunday newspaper. |
