[KavkazUzel] In Adygea, a man has been detained whom security forces suspect of participating in a terrorist organization and recruiting residents of Maikop. Security forces have detained a Russian citizen suspected of recruiting members for a terrorist organization, the FSB reported on its website today. "The detainee, being a follower of the ideology of an international terrorist organization banned in Russia, established contact with its foreign emissaries and swore allegiance to the leader of the ITO. On their instructions, he persuaded residents of the city of Maikop in the Republic of Adygea to commit attacks on employees of law enforcement agencies of the Russian Federation and then travel to ITO camps in the territory of one of the Central Asian countries," the investigation's version is cited in the department's publication. The detainee was found to have correspondence with members of a terrorist organization and a "video recording of his oath of allegiance to the terrorist organization." "The Investigative Department of the UFSB of Russia for the Republic of Adygea has opened a criminal case under Part 2 of Article 205.5 "Organization of the activities of a terrorist organization and participation in such an organization" of the Criminal Code of Russia," the report says. Part 2 of Article 205.5 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation provides for 10 to 20 years of imprisonment. The video of the man's detention and interrogation was published today by Kommersant. The footage shows that the man was detained in an apartment building. The detainee's face is retouched in the video. Answering questions from one of the security officers, the man said that he planned to go to Turkey "with an Afghan" to meet with a representative of a terrorist organization.
