...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that they were al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're really very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear western pols talk they're not really Moslems....

Well done, guys! Don’t let those scum establish a foothold.
As part of counter-terrorism measures, security forces detained two members of the group, born in 2007, who had previously been recruited remotely via the Internet.

Foreign curators gave them the task of planting a homemade bomb near the main spruce tree in the central square of Jalal-Abad. In addition, they were instructed to organize a terrorist attack and an armed attack on the Church of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary.

Mobile devices containing evidence of the preparation of a terrorist attack were confiscated from the detainees. Thus, in the gadgets they found correspondence with emissaries of the terrorist group, an action plan and instructions for making explosives.

In addition, the devices contained video recordings of an "oath of allegiance" to the leader of the terrorist organization.

A criminal case was opened against the detainees for a terrorist attack. By court decision they were placed under arrest. Security forces are carrying out activities to establish criminal connections on the territory of Kyrgyzstan.

As Regnum reported , the FSB prevented a terrorist attack on the Kuibyshev railway on December 27. Department employees detained a resident of Samara, an accomplice of a Ukrainian terrorist group that was preparing a kaboom.

Molotov cocktails were confiscated from him, as well as mobile devices for communication with coordinators. He confessed. By court decision, the detainee was taken into custody.
