Anti-terrorism policing was stepped up in the Moscow Metro, and the FSB's regional departments throughout Russia were put on high alert to forestall any attacks.

Sintsov said anti-terrorism squads remained on high alert.

According to Igor Semiletov, a researcher at the Pacific Institute of Oceanology and the expedition"s leader, participants in the second Russian-American expedition intend to conduct researches along the route from Tiksi to Wrangel Island. The ice situation is difficult there this year which may lead to changes in the programme of the expedition and its timeframe. The oceanologists hope to obtain data which must shed fresh light on the processes changing the global climate. Fifteen Russian scientists take part in the expedition. The American side, which provided it with the necessary equipment, will take part in processing the data obtained. It is worth noting that this expedition was funded mostly by Russians. The first Russian-American expedition to the Arctic took place in August-September 2003.
