MOSCOW (Reuters) - The Kremlin, commenting on a media report which said the United States knew of a Ukrainian plan to attack the Nord Stream natural gas pipelines, said on Thursday it had already spoken of the possible involvement of "Anglo-Saxons' in the incident.

The Washington Post reported on Tuesday, citing leaked information posted online, that the CIA learned last June through a European spy agency that a six-person team of Ukrainian special operations forces intended to blow up the Russia-to-Germany project.
