BROTHERS FACE RUSSIA SPY CHARGES!

The TNK-BP joint venture offices were raided on Wednesday. Russian security officials say they have arrested and charged two brothers with links to British interests.
Ilya Zaslavsky is a manager at the TNK-BP oil joint venture, his brother Alexander head of the British Council's Moscow Alumni club.
The two, who have joint US and Russian citizenship, were gathering classified data for foreign firms, the FSB said.
The arrests are the latest in a series of incidents which has caused serious frictions between Russia and the UK.
British Council work was curtailed last year in a row over the death of ex-security agent Alexander Litvinenko.

The Moscow offices of the British oil giant were raided by the authorities on Wednesday.

UK-Russia spy war
Why Britain withholds evidence

Russia's security agency, the FSB, has confirmed that the raids were related to the Zaslavsky case.
"During the raid, material proof confirming the industrial espionage was found and confiscated," it said in a statement.
This included business cards of foreign military agencies and the CIA, it said.
But analysts are interpreting the raid as part of an attempt by the Russian state to gain control of its most prized asset - a vast gas field in Siberia.
Last year state gas giant Gazprom bought a majority stake in the Kovykta field from TNK-BP, and is rumoured to be now seeking to buy a stake in the joint venture itself.
The row is the latest development in ongoing tensions between London and Moscow that began with the murder of Mr Litvinenko, a former KGB agent, in London in November 2006.
The UK wants Russia to hand over businessman Andrei Lugovoi, whom UK investigators suspect of murdering Mr Litvinenko - he died after being given a fatal dose of radioactive polonium 210.
Russia refused to extradite Mr Lugovoi, now a member of the Russian parliament, so Britain expelled four Russian diplomats - Moscow then expelled four British diplomats.
