Feb 9 (Reuters) - Russia may take political or "legal
action" in response to a report claiming that the United States
was involved in blasts that damaged the Nord Stream pipelines
last year, the TASS news agency reported, citing a foreign
ministry official.
In a blog post, Pulitzer Prize-winning investigative
journalist Seymour Hersh cited an unidentified source as saying
that U.S. navy divers had destroyed the pipelines with
explosives on the orders of President Joe Biden.
Reuters was unable to corroborate the allegations. The White
House dismissed them as "utterly false and complete fiction".
Norway's foreign ministry said the allegations were "nonsense".
