| Russian border guards discovered 280,000 dollars while examining the site of a clash on the Tajik-Afghan border, it was reported by the Russian FSB PR department on Thursday. "Two armed transgressors moving from Afghanistan were discovered on the section of a Moscow border detachment's outpost. When the border guards were trying to detain the criminals, the latter opened fire and hid in the area," the FSB press release says. Upon examination of the clash site, servicemen found two plastic bags with 280,000 dollars inside, the press release says. As reported earlier, last night border guards engaged in a fight with a group of narco-couriers near a Pyandzh river crossing. Three trespassers were killed. No casualties were reported among the Russian servicemen. |
