MOSCOW, Feb 25 (Reuters) - Two U.S. citizens were rushed to Moscow's main emergency hospital on Sunday with suspected poisoning, Interfax news agency reported, citing sources in law enforcement agencies.

Doctors at Moscow's Sklifosovsky hospital found signs that the two women, a mother and daughter with a Slavic surname, had been poisoned but were unable to identify the poison, Interfax reported.

Police are investigating the incident, it said. A duty officer at the American Embassy in Moscow declined to comment on the report.
