A Chechen separatist envoy today urged an international inquiry into a mysterious children's illness in the Russian republic of Chechnya.
Akhmed Zakaev, a representative of the Chechen rebel leadership who lives in London, asked for an "urgent international investigation" in a letter to Rogelio Pfirter, director-general of the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons.
Zakaev suggested that chemical poisoning was to blame rather than psychological factors as claimed by doctors.
