BAGHDAD, August 10 (RIA Novosti) - Floppy disks, CDs and tapes were seized during a search at the RIA Novosti bureau in Baghdad.

Six Iraqi security officers examined the building, inspected rent papers and checked the IDs and equipment of the bureau's Iraqi staff.

The bureau's Iraqi interpreter, who has worked at the office since 2001, was summoned to the Interior Ministry.

There were no Russian nationals at the bureau at that time.

The investigators could not comment on reasons for the search, sanctioned by the Iraqi justice and interior ministries.
