KAZAKH SECURITY SERVICE SAYS COUNTRY IS TARGET OF FOREIGN SPIES
Kazakhstan's National Security Committee has asserted on its website that the country is of "intense interest" to foreign intelligence services, Interfax-Kazakhstan reported on 28 July. The problems of military counterintelligence were raised at a meeting between the security agency and the Defense Ministry on protecting state secrets as contacts increase between the Kazakh and foreign militaries. According to the report, military counterintelligence staff have found a number of foreign intelligence agents operating in Kazakhstan. In the first half of 2003, a number of violations of the rules on protecting state secrets were discovered, including the loss of classified documents, but no incidents were reported involving the security of weapons or ammunition.
