[ColonelCassad] The gang of Islamists who wanted to blow up the FSB building on Lubyanka in 2022 got it in full.

The Wahhabis who tried to blow up the FSB building were given 16 to 22 years today.

A group of radical Islamists planned a terrorist attack at the central office of the FSB on Lubyanka, demanding the withdrawal of troops from Syria. Among the terrorists there was one native of Dagestan, the rest (including the gang leader) were foreign specialists from Tajikistan.

It is interesting that one defendant testified against the rest of the “brothers” and received 12 years, others were given from 16 to 22.

“Based on the totality of crimes and by partial addition of sentences, assign Manuchehra Buriev 22 years of imprisonment in a maximum security correctional colony, Samandar Toshmurodov - 20 years, Gadzhimurad Gasanaliev - 19 years, Abdukodir Toirov - 17 years , Abdumalik Samiev - 17 years old and Rajabali Buriev - 16 years in a maximum security colony,” the verdict says.

The terrorist attack was planned to be carried out last year with the help of a suicide bomber, and the key requirement was the withdrawal of Russian troops from Syria . By the time of their arrest, the radicals were diligently spending their time in Moscow, working as couriers and laborers on construction sites; most of the most valuable specialists had only graduated from high school.

Merob Khaitov, who ratted out the entire group, was convicted back in October.2.
They were ISIS, according the previous article in the Rantburg archive. I’m so glad Fred lets us access the thing.
Of course, no one is leaving Syria. On the contrary, in light of the expansion of the African campaign, the role of Khmeimim as a transit base will only grow.1. It is a pity that the country does not have the death penalty for terrorism.
