  MOSCOW - President Vladimir Putin has signed a decree identifying
the criteria for reorganising Russia's Federal Security Service
(FSB). The FSB director is to carry the process out within three
months.

The FSB played a direct part in drafting the decree, which means that
virtually all the proposals made by the counter-intelligence service
have been taken into account. A number of independent services are to
be established, and it cannot be ruled out that special
sub-departments for combating terrorism, extremism, etc. will be
established. New organisational decisions are expected to allow
Russia's security services to react more appropriately to
contemporary threats.

MOSCOW - Vladimir Putin has decreed on the revamping of Russiaís
domestic security service, the FSB, and other power-wielding
agencies, the Gazeta newspaper reports. Authorities are expected to
