[Regnum] The Federal Security Service (FSB) has published footage of the detention of a native of Central Asia for preparing a terrorist act in Pyatigorsk. The corresponding video was presented on Wednesday, April 16, by the Public Relations Center. The video shows the man preparing for the crime, including choosing a canister at a hardware store, before showing footage of his arrest. During interrogation, the detainee stated that he had come to Pyatigorsk to earn money, after which he met members of an international terrorist organization banned in Russia on the Internet and joined it. Security forces detained the man earlier that day, April 16. He planned to commit a terrorist act in one of the leisure centers, and then flee to Syria to take part in military operations. At the same time, FSB officers detained a Ukrainian agent who was planning to commit a terrorist attack against a deputy of the People's Council of the Lugansk People's Republic. The resident of Lugansk cooperated with Ukrainian intelligence, was trained in sabotage activities, and also equipped caches with explosives and explosive devices. |
