Radiation

alert at Chechen plant

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Russian forces

launched heavy assaults on Grozny in 1999

 

 

 

Prosecutors

in Chechnya have opened a criminal investigation

after finding " catastrophic " levels of radioactivity at a chemical

factory in the republic.

Investigators say the radiation - in one place reportedly 58,000

times the usual level - poses a danger to people in the region's capital, Grozny.

The case has also raised fears militants could take radioactive

waste to use in a so-called " dirty bomb " .

The plant has reportedly not been secured since Russia bombed it in

1999.
