A leading Jewish tycoon in Russia accused a general in Russia’s domestic security service of conspiring to kill him late last year. In a letter published in the Russian newspaper Kommersant Daily, Boris Berezovsky, who survived an assassination attempt in 1994, also said the Federal Security Service is covering up the plot. As a result of Berezovsky’s letter, an investigation into the 1997 attempt has been reopened.
