44% of Russians sympathize with organizers of attacks against coalition troops in Iraq

MOSCOW. Nov 20 (Interfax) - Forty-four percent of Russians sympathize with Iraqi guerillas who have been staging terrorist attacks against coalition troops, while 15% said they sympathize with the Americans, and 41% were undecided, according to a poll.

The public opinion survey was conducted by the VTSIOM-A non-profit organization between November 13-16 and involved 1,600 respondents. The margin of error is 3.4%.

Sixty-three percent of those polled said that the United States made the wrong decision when it carried out its military action in Iraq to displace Saddam Hussein. Seventeen percent of respondents expressed the opposite opinion and another 20% were undecided.

Most Russians (83%) suggested that Islamic terrorists may deliver on their promises soon to stage major terrorist attacks in a number of large U.S. cities.
