(Reuters) - Russia's ambassador to Warsaw said on Thursday that Poland had blocked the Russian embassy's bank accounts on the basis that they might be used to finance terrorist activity or launder money.

"Our accounts have been blocked by a decision of the finance ministry, and then by a decision of the Polish prosecutor," the TASS news agency quoted Ambassador Sergey Andreev as saying on Russia's Channel 1 state television.
