Russia Heightens US Moscow Embassy Security after Laden’s Death

Moscow police has enhanced security all around the US Moscow Embassy after President Obama’s official announcement that Osama bin Laden is dead. According to Moscow police official, “additional police forces around the Embassy of the United States of America in Moscow have been brought in.”

The State Department earlier warned the nation about possible increased threats towards Americans living throughout the world in connection with the killing of Osama bin Laden. It has issued global travel warning for all United States citizens. Some US embassies may reduce working hours or temporarily close for security reasons these days. 

According to the Obama’s statement, Osama bin Laden was killed in a firefight with US special forces at a house in Abbottabad, about 100km from the Pakistani capital of Islamabad. A small team of American troops carried out the attack and took custody of Osama bin Laden’s remains. Intense intelligence activity preceded this operation, Obama said.

Previously a senior Russian official was quoted to say that Moscow is assisting the US in the search for Al-Qaeda head, Osama bin Laden, and wants Washington’s help against Russia’s most-wanted terrorist, Chechen militant Doku Umarov.

Last year Umarov took responsibility for the March 2010 Moscow Metro bombings that killed 40 people, as well as the November 2009 bombing of a train from Moscow to St. Petersburg. 

This February Doku Umarov has claimed that he was the mastermind behind January’s inhuman bombing at Moscow Domodedovo Airport, which took the lives of 36 people and injured more than 180.
