According to the newspaper, Moscow is likely to demand that the US drops its plans to build an anti-missile defense shield. Then, Russia may reassess its own difficult history of conflict with Muslim radicals. Russia also stands to gain if the West comes round to its belief that ruthlessness is a legitimate response to terrorism, it is said in the article. However, active Russian support for any military response directed against Afghanistan would vastly increase America’s chances of success in hunting down the perpetrators of Tuesday’s terrorist attacks, The Times writes. A generation of modern military engagement on either side of the old Soviet-Afghan frontier has given Russian forces enormous know-how about logistics, terrain and even the personalities of fighters in the Central Asian region. Washington is planning to send US Deputy Secretary of State Richard Armitage to Moscow, reports de l'Agence France-Presse (AFP) today. The policy towards Afghanistan will be the main theme of the talks of the American diplomat and Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Vyacheslav Trubnikov. According to AFP, these consultations have been organized in connection with possible retaliatory measures for the terrorist acts in the United States.

However, the position of Pakistan remains unclear so far. fred
