Russia plans to launch pre-emptive strikes on bases used for training militants, a senior general said earlier. "We will carry out all measures to liquidate terrorist bases in any region of the world," Gen Yuri Baluevsky was quoted as saying by Russian news agencies. "However, this does not mean that we will launch nuclear strikes." The combined statements from the army and from the intelligence service suggest Russia's leadership is looking towards a military and not a political response to the string of attacks, says the BBC's Steven Eke in Moscow.
