In this article from the LA Times, we see that there was a so-called espionage going on in Houston, Texas. Two Russian men and one Russian woman were convicted in the illegal transporting of the technologies to Russia. Alexander Fishenko, a Russian immigrant who owns whole bunch of Russian and American stores in the US, was one of them. The other one was Alexander Posobilov, who was caught at the airport and was about to fly to Russia. Viktoria Klebanova on the other hand was extensively travelling back and forth to Russia. Officials found a lot of emails between “colleagues” about how to evade U.S. export laws, says the press. Lance Carter and Dan Brow, who have stores across the steer from the Fishenko store, said that they saw a lot of boxes being brought in the building, and now, they wonder what was in those boxes.

In this giver article we can see how Russian top security official has alleged that al-Qaida was waging "forest jihad" in Europe by sparking the wildfires that have ravaged the continent in recent summers. He said that Forest fires in EU countries should be considered part of al-Qaida's new strategy. He cited talk of "forest jihad" on various extremist websites and forums as evidence of the strategy. But Russian people don't think this. They said «And when Russia's forests and peat bogs were burning in 2010, what was that? Also al-Qaida? And this summer in Siberia – was that also part of this 'thousand cuts' strategy?». Bortnikov provided no proof, his theory reflects public discussions among Islamic extremists.
