["The US and the rest of the West have strongly condemned specific acts of terrorism such as the Moscow theatre seizure and attacks causing civilian casualties in Chechnya and extended moral support to Moscow in its fight against terrorism, but are still reluctant to accept the Russian argument that what has been happening in Chechnya is totally due to terrorism, inspired by bin Laden and his ilk. Despite repeated Russian requests, Washington DC has desisted from designating any of the Chechen terrorist groups as Foreign Terrorist Organisations as required under a 1996 law." - b.raman]
