MOSCOW, April 3. /TASS/. The Russian Prosecutor General’s Office has sent information requests to the US, Germany, France and Cyprus over Western countries’ potential involvement in terrorist attacks on Russia, the top prosecutor’s office said in a statement.

According to the document, the Prosecutor General’s Office took into account requests by members of the State Duma (lower house of parliament), which call for investigating whether foreign-based individuals and entities may have been implicated in organizing and financing a number of terrorist attacks inside Russia, as well as the Nord Stream gas pipeline explosions. "After studying the related files, we sent requests on the matter to the relevant agencies in the US, Germany, France and Cyprus," the prosecutor’s office noted.

Russia’s top prosecution body expressed hope that "our colleagues in these countries will earnestly consider the requests and fulfill their obligations under the 1999 International Convention for the Suppression of the Financing of Terrorism and the 1997 International Convention for the Suppression of Terrorist Bombings, which involve investigating the information provided, facilitating efforts to obtain evidence necessary for probes, and ensuring that punishments be duly carried out."

The lawmakers presented direct evidence against the masterminds, organizers and perpetrators of these crimes and those who have covered them up and financed them. The State Duma members believe that the US and its allies have been carrying out terrorist attacks inside Russia via the Islamic State terror group (outlawed in Russia) and Ukrainian intelligence agencies. They demanded that the US and Ukrainian political leadership be prosecuted for organizing, financing and conducting terrorist operations aimed against Russia and the entire contemporary world.
