(ANSA-AFP) - MOSCOW, MAR 7 - Belarus President Alexander Lukashenko said Tuesday that more than 20 people had been detained in connection with an attack on a Russian military plane, claimed by regime opponents late last month. "To date, more than 20 accomplices who are in Belarus have been detained.

The rest are hiding," said Lukashenko, a key Kremlin ally, according to state news agency Belta, after identifying the presumed main culprit as a joint Russian and Ukrainian citizen.
