U.S. general say he is not convinced Russian cash led to U.S. deaths in Afghanistan

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A top U.S. general said on Tuesday he was not convinced any Russian bounties resulted in the deaths of U.S. troops in Afghanistan, even as he acknowledged his concerns about Russian intentions toward the United States.

U.S. officials say the United States acquired intelligence suggesting that Russia may have paid bounties to Taliban-affiliated militants to kill U.S.-led coalition forces in Afghanistan, but stress that intelligence was not conclusive.
