MOSCOW (Reuters) - Russian law enforcement detained a number of Jehovah's Witnesses and conducted searches at 16 different addresses in Moscow on Wednesday as part of a new criminal investigation against the group, state investigators said.

The Investigative Committee, which handles probes into major crimes, said the people had been detained for organising and taking part in the activities of a banned religious group.

It said they had met in a flat in northern Moscow and studied the teachings of the religion despite being aware of the ban on the group's activities.

  In “The DaVinci Code” novel, the Pope had an albino assassin, sort of a 00VII, as a part of Opus Dio, the Jesuits, which was quite believable ….. if you know Catholic History. Little is known about the secret NY Triad Cabal known as “The Librarians”….. ……BROUHAHAHAHAA
