[Kavkaz] Employees of the State Security Service of Georgia have detained six citizens associated with the Islamic State terrorist organization. According to the security forces, they planned terrorist attacks in various countries.
The counter-terrorist operation took place simultaneously in four places in Georgia. Six people were detained who had connections with one of the influential leaders of the terrorist organization and planned various types of terrorist activities under his leadership, the State Security Service (SSS) said.
During the searches, symbols of a terrorist organization, electronic information carriers, ammunition, explosives and other evidence were confiscated from the detainees, Novosti-Georgia writes with reference to the department.
According to the State Security Service, the case is being investigated under articles 328 and 236 of the Criminal Code of Georgia (joining a terrorist organization of a foreign state, assisting terrorist activities, illegal acquisition and possession of firearms, ammunition and explosives). As part of the investigation, a criminal case was also initiated against one citizen of a foreign state, reports Georgia Online.
The foreigner was placed in the temporary accommodation center of the Migration Department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. The intelligence service clarified that information about terrorist activities was transferred to the competent authorities of the partner countries, TASS reports.
The "Caucasian Knot" has previously written that on May 6, the Georgian security forces reported about the detention of a member of the IS. According to them, there is evidence that a group of people planned terrorist attacks in the US and Europe.
On April 22, the State Security Service of Georgia announced the detention of Malkhaz Paksashvili, whom the security forces believe is the head of one of the Islamic State* units that took part in the hostilities in Syria. On the same day, a court in Tbilisi placed Paksashvili under arrest. The arrested person did not admit his guilt.
