[KavkazUzel] The Maykop City Court has arrested for two months a local resident who was previously detained by security forces on suspicion of recruiting for the Islamic State.

As reported by the "Caucasian Knot", on August 31 it became known about the detention in Adygea of ​​a suspected militant, whom security forces suspect of participating in a terrorist organization and recruiting residents of Maikop.

The Maykop City Court has arrested a local resident suspected of participating in the activities of a terrorist organization for two months, until October 29, the joint press service of the courts of Adygea reported.

In a video recording published by the agency, during interrogation, he said that after watching videos of supporters of the "Islamic State", he planned to kill a guard and set fire to the church.
