The Federal Security Service of the Russian Federation (FSB) is the main domestic security agency of the Russian Federation and the main successor agency of the Soviet Committee of State Security (KGB). Its main responsibilities are counter-intelligence, internal and border security, counter-terrorism, and surveillance. Its headquarters are on Lubyanka Square, downtown Moscow. In 2011, the FSB prevented 94 "crimes of a terrorist nature," including eight terrorist attacks. In particular, the agency foiled a planned suicide bombing in Moscow on New Year's Eve. However, the agency failed to prevent terrorists perpetrating the Domodedovo International Airport bombing.

(BND) - FEDERAL INTELLIGENCE SERVICE
HISTORY OF BND
The predecessor of the BND is the German eastern military intelligence
agency during World War II, the Abteilung Fremde Heere Ost or FHO Section
in the General Staff, led by Wehrmacht Major General Reinhard Gehlen.
Its main purpose was to collect information on the Red Army. After the war
Gehlen sided with the US occupiers.
In 1946 he set up an intelligence agency informally known as the Gehlen
Organization or simply "The Org" and recruited, initially quite modestly,
some of his former co-workers. Many were operatives of the war but Gehlen
also recruited from the former military agencies also.
The latter recruits were later controversial because the agencies and its
associated groups were notoriously linked to many Nazi atrocities during the
war.
The organization worked at first almost exclusively for the CIA, which
contributed funding, equipment, cars, gasoline and other materials.
• As Germany’s only overseas intelligence service, the BND gathers both military and civil intelligence. However, the Strategic Reconnaissance Command of the German Armed Forces also fulfils this mission, but is not an intelligence service but still there was close cooperation between the BND and the Commando Strategies
• The domestic secret service counterparts of the BND are the Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution and 16 counterparts at the state level State Offices for the Protection of the Constitution; there is also a separate military intelligence organisation, the military shielding service
• The BND is a successor to the Gehlen Organization. The most central figure in its history was Reinhard Gehlen, its first President.

ACHIEVEMENTS• In the first year the Pullach operation by the State Secretary in the
federal chancellery of Konrad Adenauer, the BND hustled along in the mode of its forerunner, the Gehlen Organization.
• When an East German army intelligence officer, a Lieutenant Colonel and BND agent, was suspected as spy by the Soviet KGB and was investigated and shadowed, the BND was positioned and able to inject forged reports to ascertain that the loose spy was actually the KGB investigator, who was then arrested by the Soviets and shipped off to Moscow.
• A further laudable success was BND’s activity during the Czech crisis in 1968
• The kidnapping and murder of Israeli athletes at the 1972 Olympics in Munich was a watershed event for the BND, because it led the agency to build counter-terrorism capabilities.
• In 1986, the BND deciphered the report of the Libyan Embassy in East Berlin regarding the "successful" implementation of the 1986 Berlin discotheque bombing.
• When on February 5, 2003 Collin Powell pledged for a military attack on Iraq in front of the UN security council, he was supporting his case with information received from the BND.
• Following the 2006 Lebanon War. the BND mediated secret negotiations between Israel and Hezbollah, eventually leading up to the 2008 Israel-Hezbollah prisoner swap.
In the beginning of 2008, it was revealed that the BND had managed to recruit excellent sources within Liechtenstein banks and had been conducting espionage operations in the principality since the beginning of 2000sIn November 2008, three German BND agents were arrested in Kosovo for allegedly throwing a bomb at the European Union International Civilian Office, which oversees Kosovo's governance
