Russian dissident Garry Kasparov says US warned him of danger to his life

Kasparov, who is currently residing in the United States, stated that American officials alerted him to a potential danger through intermediaries. He mentioned that the warning specified the possibility of harm in Russia and advised him to reconsider his visit.
