WASHINGTON,
June 26 (Reuters) - U.S. intelligence has concluded that the Russian
military offered bounties to Taliban-linked militants in Afghanistan to
kill American troops and other coalition forces, the New York Times
reported on Friday.
Citing officials briefed on the matter, the
Times said the United States determined months ago that a Russian
military intelligence unit linked to assassination attempts in Europe
had offered rewards for successful attacks last year.
Islamist
militants, or armed criminal elements closely associated with them, are
believed to have collected some bounty money, the newspaper said.
