Bulgaria's Kintex Company helped al Qaeda activists to enter Chechnya, Turkish paper Sabah wrote Friday. The Bulgarian weaponry dealer recently got involved in an Indian scandal. The Government had awarded a Rs. 200 billion tender to Kintex, for the supply of AK-47 rifles. A Congress spokesman then claimed that favoring the Kintex bid was groundless. He also claimed that the Bulgarian company was linked to the 1995 Purulia arms drop case. His accusations were later rejected by the Government. Kintex Director Petar Karaangelov, commenting on the al Qaeda claims, said that there must have been some mistake. There is probably another company under the same name, Karaangelov suggested. |
