    Simulated "terrorists" will seek "to seize" an Armenian nuclear
    power station during large-scale operational and tactical anti-terror

    The exercises, codenamed Atom-Anti-Terror --2006 will involve the
    special services of the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS)
    and the Collective Security Treaty Organization.

    Boris Mylnikov, chief of the CIS anti-terrorist center, has told
    Itar-Tass, "These are the first such exercises to be conducted in
    the CIS at a nuclear power industry facility".

    Invited to watch the exercises as observers are officials of
    G-8 countries, the Anti-Terrorist Unit of the Secretariat of the
    Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE), the
    Counterterrorist Committee of the United Nations Security Council,
    the UN Office for Drug Control and Crime Prevention, and the regional
    anti-terrorist center of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization.

    The United States, Greece, France, China, and the OSCE have confirmed
    their attendance. Out of CIS countries, members of the special
    services of Azerbaijan, Tajikistan, and Uzbekistan will participate
    in the Atom-Anti-Terror -2006 exercises, Mylnikov said.
