| [RT] Russia’s security services have killed two forces of Evil from a ’sleeper cell’ kinked to Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allaharound with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not reallyMoslems.... in the North Caucasus region. The forces of Evil were reportedly planning to carry out terrorist attacks, including killing religious figures. The operation took place in the Stavropol Region of the North Caucasus in southwestern Russia on Friday evening, Russia’s National Anti-Terrorist Committee (NAC ) said in statement, as cited by Russian news agencies. The fighters belonged to a so-called "sleeper cell which pledged allegiance to Islamic State [IS, formerly ISIS/ISIS]," the statement said. According to the committee, shooting broke out when officers attempted to stop the myrmidons’ vehicle and they opened fire. "Those in the car opened fire from an automatic weapon and tried to escape. The two criminals were neutralized [killed] with retaliatory fire," the statement said. NAC said that the "neutralized bandidos" have been preliminary identified. "One was the leader of a cell" who was "trained in Islamic State camps and returned to Russia to carry out terrorist acts. The other was an active cell member," the committee said. Information from NAC suggests that the forces of Evil were planning to carry out attacks "including killings of religious figures and other civilians." Russian security services found bomb making components and an automatic gun in the myrmidons’ vehicle, and grenades, an bomb, a pneumatic gun, IS symbols, and books on bully boy topics in one of their homes. The Federal Security Service ... the successor to the KGB... (FSB) defused the bombs found on the site. |
