Russian President Dmitry Medvedev has called on the
country's security service to "systematically" end the
ongoing violence in the volatile south.
Speaking with the Federal Security Service (FSB) director,
Alexander Bortnikov, Medvedev demanded that militants in the
restive North Caucasus republics of Ingushetia, Chechnya and
Dagestan be eliminated in order to rid the country of its
'top domestic issue.'
"As far as these criminals are concerned, our policy remains
the same," Medvedev noted, adding, "They should simply be
eliminated, and this must be done systematically."
"I would like the FSB, in cooperation with the Interior
Ministry and other bodies, to deal with this," state news
agency RIA Novosti quoted him as saying on Friday.
He also called for socio-economic growth in the poverty-
stricken region that has been blighted by unemployment,
trade and industry limitations.
His comments come two days after a deadly bombing in the
west Caspian Sea republic of Dagestan, in which six
policemen were killed and 24 others wounded.
North Caucasus separatists have been campaigning against the
federal government in the aftermath of the Soviet Union's
disintegration in the early 1990s.

Iran, Russia hope to revive extinct big cats

Iranian and Russian ecologists have announced ambitious
plans to return Caspian Tigers as well as Asiatic cheetahs,
which disappeared some half a century ago in their
countries, to the wild.
A delegation of Russian ecologists headed by Deputy Minister
of Natural Resources and Ecology of the Russian Federation
Sergey Donskoy arrived in Tehran a week ago to discuss
avenues to reestablish the wild cats.
During the meeting, the Iranian ecologists shed light on the
prospect of repopulating the jungles in northern Iran with
extraordinary Caspian Tiger, which became extinct over 40
years ago.
This is while through modern genetic analysis it has been
discovered the Caspian Tiger and the Siberian Tiger, still
in existence, are separated by only one letter of genetic
code. The Caspian Tiger can be reestablished by using their
relative, the Siberian Tiger.
Russian and international conservation groups banned hunting
of tiger in 1947, but it was too late for the Caspian Tiger
to make a recovery. Poaching and contributing factors wiped
out the majestic cat. Conservation efforts, however, did
help to protect and stabilize the Siberian Tiger.
Fortunately, the subspecies commingling in the distant past
will allow the Caspian Tiger to once again take its rightful
place in the family tree of tigers.
The Russian ecologist asked for Iranian assistance in
revival of Asiatic cheetahs in the northern Caucasus region.
Described as powerful and graceful hunters, cheetahs are the
world's fastest animal and easy to train. Cheetahs were
trained by ancient Persian kings, who used them to hunt
gazelles.
Recognizing the cats' precarious situation, Iran's
Department of Environment has worked with the UN Development
Program-Global Environment Facility and Wildlife
Conservation Society in New York since 2001 to save the only
50 to 60 Asiatic cheetahs which live in the Dasht-e Kavir
region of Iran.

But all things that are reproved are made manifest by the light:
for whatsoever doth make manifest is light. The light shineth in darkness;
and the darkness comprehended it not. The light of the body is the eye:
if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light.
But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness.
If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness!
Awake thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead,
and Christ shall give thee light. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.
