Three young people who came to the election headquarters with Molotov cocktails were detained there, reports the press service of the FSB department for the Altai Territory. According to the intelligence service, three residents of the Novosibirsk region made five homemade incendiary devices to set fire to one of the regional election headquarters before the elections. “The group of people failed to complete their criminal intent, as they were detained by operational officers of the Russian FSB directly near the headquarters building while attempting to commit a terrorist attack,” the FSB noted. The leader of the group, a man born in 2001, came to the region to work at the end of last year. For a long time he maintained contact with representatives of a terrorist organization banned in Russia, who instructed him to organize a terrorist attack in Barnaul. The man developed a scheme to carry out a terrorist attack and involved two friends born in 1998 and 2006 with radical views in the execution of his plan. It is noted that all three are adults. They were charged with attempted terrorist attack (part 3 of article 30, paragraph “a” of part 2 of article 205 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation). By court decision they were placed under arrest. As reported by IA Regnum, Russian special services almost daily neutralize terrorists and suppress attempts to commit terrorist attacks on the territory of the country. Thus, on March 18, a Russian woman was detained in Crimea for planning to set fire to a relay cabinet on a railway. She was supposed to carry out the terrorist attack in Simferopol on instructions from the Ukrainian special services. On March 16, in the Sverdlovsk region, a Ukrainian agent was detained who was planning to carry out a terrorist attack on the Trans-Siberian Railway. During interrogation, he said that he trained in sabotage activities in Kyiv, after which he came to Russia through Moldova and Turkey. On March 15, in the Belgorod region, a Russian citizen was detained who was preparing sabotage at one of the railway transport facilities on instructions from the Ukrainian special services.
