Someone is obviously lying based on the contradictory stories.
Moscow holds Eston Kohver for 'undercover intelligence mission' but Tallinn says he was investigating cross-border crime…
Russia's FSB security service said in a statement it had detained Kohver in north-western Russia, close to the Estonian border, on Friday as he attempted to carry out an "undercover operation".
But prosecutors in Talinn said Kohver was abducted at gunpoint from Estonian territory by Russians who detonated a smoke grenade and jammed radio communications. They said he had been investigating cross-border crime.
The FSB said Kohver was found in possession of a pistol, ammunition, €5,000 (£3,970), "special equipment to carry out covert recording" and "materials that seem to be assignments for an intelligence-gathering mission".…
Kohver's arrest came just two days after a landmark visit by Barack Obama to Tallinn, aimed at reassuring jittery Baltic states of his country's commitment to their security as Nato allies in the face of Russia's role in the Ukraine crisis.Tit for tat?
