1 FEB 07: BORAT COPS BUY R44

THE country made famous by British comedian Sacha Baron Cohen in the movie Borat has bought its first foreign-manufactured helicopter for law enforcement.

Kazakhstan's Internal Affairs Ministry has bought a new Robinson R44 Raven 11 to support police in the capital city of Astana.

In a ceremony pictured right, Astana Mayor Askar Mamin presented Major General Dozumov, head of the Internal Affairs Department of Astana, with the keys to the blue-trimmed white  helicopter. The aircraft was a standard-equipped Raven II, fitted with police radios and a public address system and siren.

There's no truth in the rumour that Borat said: "Jagshemash! You go look at it - if it is not successful I be execute!"
