Afghan National Attempts To Illegally Cross Russian Border

An Afghan national attempting to illegally penetrate into Russia has been arrested on the Russo-Kazakh border. The attempt was rather original: the transgressor dressed in an attendant's uniform was travelling in a Tashkent-Moscow train. Russian borderguards checking the train revealed that the "camouflaged" Afghan had no entrance visa. The transgressor and an Uzbek attendant who shared his uniform with the Afghan were made leave the train. Borderguards testify they had not come across such incidents for a long time. Illegal passengers striving to get to Russia from Afghanistan in this train usually hide under the ceiling of a wagon or in the luggage department.
