Appearing on U.S. NBC television today, Rice said the United States will "definitely" raise the issue with the Russian government.

A Pentagon report on March 24 cited two Iraqi documents as saying Russia obtained information from sources "inside the American Central Command" in Qatar. The report said battlefield intelligence was passed to Hussein through the former Russian ambassador in Baghdad, Vladimir Titorenko.
    
The Russian Foreign Intelligence Service has dismissed the claims.
