March 8 (Reuters) - U.S. media reports on intelligence
suggesting a sabotage of the Nord Stream gas pipelines are an
attempt to confuse those who "are sincerely" trying to get to
the bottom of the case, Russia's embassy to the United States
said on Wednesday.
    "We simply do not and cannot believe in any notion of the
'impartiality' of the conclusions of the U.S. intelligence
services. We regard the anonymous 'leaks' to be no more than an
attempt to confuse anyone who sincerely wishes to seek out the
truth in this flagrant crime," the embassy said on the Telegram
messaging platform. 
    "It is simply a means of shifting suspicion from those in
official government positions who ordered and coordinated the
attacks in the Baltic Sea on to abstract individuals of some
sort."
