DEPUTY INQUIRY

Dear Vladimir Borisovich!

On September 24, 1999, at an expanded meeting of the Ministry of Internal Affairs commission, you stated that a terrorist act had been prevented in the city of Ryazan. Later, the head of the FSB, N. Patrushev, refuted your statement.
We would be grateful for your answer to the following question: "on the basis of what data did you conclude that a terrorist act was prevented in the city of Ryazan?"

Respectfully,

V.V. POKHMELKIN
