MOSCOW—An army major has been seized in government buildings in Moscow and charged with planning to kill Russian President Boris Yeltsin with a knife, Tass News Agency (塔斯社) said on Saturday. Tass said the unnamed officer was detained (扣押) by security guards as he hid in the top-storey of a government building early last Wednesday — a few hours before Yeltsin left Moscow on a trip to India. The man, who was armed with a knife when arrested, had planned to attack the 61-year-old Russian leader as he stepped from his car. He did not get near Yeltsin, who was preparing to leave for his trip and whose office is in the Kremlin, about 300 metres away from the Staraya Ploshchad Complex where the officer was waiting.(Monday, February 1, 1993)
