The Kavkaz Center English Service received a letter from Dr Alexander
Kouzminov denying a report from the Canadian Free Press
titled "Exclusive: Alexander Litvinenko.Death of a spy. By Gordon Thomas"
The CFP report was partly reproduced
on our Web site in an article on October 26, 2006.
Mr Kouzminov writes to the Kavkaz Center English Service:
"(1) On your web-site the following text is placed (I quote you): "A
former director of Department S, Alexander Kouzminov,said: "The killing
could only have been carried out by operatives of Department S secretly
deployed in the West. They have assumed names and well-prepared cover stories
and often masquerade as citizens of Western countries". "He claimed
the new poison could have entered Britain through "the Volna
Channel. This highly secret route, often using diplomatic channels, had been
set up in Putin's KGB days to transport biological materials to a country where
they were to be used".
My commentary:
a) I have never been a Director of Directorate S.
b) I have never commented on the Litvinenko's killing in any newspapers
/ mass media...
c) I would appreciate if you correct your text and clarify (in your
corrected text) that I did not make any comments about Mr Litvinenko's death
and the circumstances surrounding it. I do not want to speculate on this case.
Yours sincerely,
Dr Alexander Kouzminov
KC
