Terrorist attack thwarted in Dargo
The special forces have prevented a major terrorist act in the Chechen highlands, a source at the Chechen department of the Federal Security Service told Interfax."Information about a planned terrorist act against villagers in Dargo, Vedeno district, was received the day before. The act of terrorism was aimed at destabilizing Chechnya," the source said. A joint operation of the special forces and combined federal forces caught nine militants planting a bomb on a railroad track near Dargo. The bomb went off during an exchange of fire and killed two militants. The other militants were wounded and tried to escape in the forest. A one-meter deep crater with a diameter of up to three meters and human remains, which cannot be identified, were found on the explosion scene. Firearms and ammunition were found, as well.
