The N.Y. Times reported yesterday that Russia's military intelligence agency paid bounties to Taliban-linked militants who killed NATO troops -- including Americans -- according to the Newsmax website.
The info was gathered this year from interrogations of Afghan militants and criminals, the Times said.
Seventeen American soldiers were killed in combat in Afghanistan last year.
Russian officials contacted by the NY Times claimed no knowledge of the operation.
