BBC probed for possible ‘terrorist’ content by Russian media regulator
|Moscow (CNN)BBC’s Russian-language website is being investigated by Russia’s telecommunications regulator Roskomnadzor for possible “terrorist content.”
Roskomnadzor said Thursday it would probe whether the British public broadcaster was in violation of Russia’s strict anti-extremism laws.
“At present, materials have been discovered that broadcast the ideological attitudes of international terrorist organizations (quotes from terrorist Al-Baghdadi),” Roskomnadzor said, referring to ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi.
