U.S. to set up antiterrorism center in Southern Kyrgyzstan

The United States intends to build an anti-terror training center in the southern Kyrgyz province of Batken. The exact location of the facility, which is projected to cost $5.5 million, has not yet been determined. The move is likely to be perceived by the Kremlin as further American encroachment into what has traditionally been Moscow’s sphere of influence, analysts say. (Eurasianet)
