[KavkazUzel] A man was detained by the Russian FSB with bomb making materials on his person according to Russian language media.

As the "Caucasian Knot" wrote, the FSB announced today the arrest in Cherkessk of a 20-year-old resident of the neighboring republic of Kabardino-Balkaria. Components and tools for making an improvised explosive device were seized from him.

According to the ministry, the detainee was preparing a terrorist attack in the city against law enforcement officers and acted on the instructions of the militants of the international terrorist organization "Islamic State."
Definitely a terrorist, all right.
In a video of the FSB Public Relations Center, published today on the TASS YouTube channel, people in civilian clothes inspect the clothes of a man lying on the ground in handcuffs. This is followed by shots of the seizure of the contents of the backpack - camouflage clothing is taken out of it.
Video is in Russian and is in untranslatable format.
Demonstrated is a five-liter plastic water tank wrapped with tape. The tape is cut with a knife, revealing that it is holding many metal bolts and nuts on the bottle. White powder is poured from the bottle itself.

Also removed the diagram, made by hand on a notebook sheet. The diagram shows the building of the Prosecutor's Office on Krasnoarmeyskaya Street near the intersection with Soyuzny Lane. According to the service "Yandex. Maps", in this place in Cherkessk is the building of the prosecutor's office of Karachay-Cherkessia.

When the detainee is already sitting on the ground, filming a mobile phone, he is asked about his age. The young man replies that he is 20. "What did you do here?" - asks the security officer. The young man moves his lips, but his answer is not heard. To the question: "Do you understand what he was detained for?" he nods in the affirmative.
