KRASNODAR May 4
Temryuk district court in Krasnodar territory has sentenced a Russian
citizen to six years in jail for illegally transporting components for
a missile system and a multiple launch rocket system to Armenia.
"He will be serving his sentence at a regular penitentiary. He was
charged with smuggling," a spokesman for the court told Interfax on
Sunday.
A batch of the components was discovered in summer 2007 at the customs
