Twice, according to the security forces, supporters of the Islamic State terrorist organization were detained, on October 28, the FSB reported on the detention of supporters of Ukrainian radical organizations. Among the targets of the terrorists, the security forces named an administrative facility, a police department and a transport infrastructure facility. The closeness of the FSB does not allow verifying the authenticity of the reports about the three terrorist attacks that were thwarted in the Stavropol Territory, but the security forces are obviously interested in demonstrating the importance of their work against the backdrop of the military operation, analysts interviewed by the "Caucasian Knot" pointed out. A criminal case has been initiated against a resident of Stavropol, who was detained on suspicion of terrorism, the press service of the regional FSB reported. "It has been established that the suspect, acting on instructions from representatives of a Ukrainian nationalist organization, planned to set fire to one of the region's administrative buildings," Interfax quoted the agency as saying. According to the intelligence service, the Stavropol man made a homemade incendiary device, which he kept in a cache in the forest, the report said. We also recall that the FSB twice reported on the prevention of terrorist attacks in the Stavropol Territory in April. On April 25, the agency reported on the arrest of an IS supporter suspected of plotting a terrorist attack at a transport infrastructure facility in the Stavropol Territory. In the video, the detainee admitted that he joined the ranks of the Islamic State * and planned a terrorist attack . On April 13, the security forces said that a supporter of the "Islamic state" *  from Stavropol planned to carry out a terrorist attack at the railway station, elements of an explosive device were seized from him. The special services are motivated to disseminate doubtful reports about the detention of alleged terrorists in the Stavropol Territory in order to improve reporting and for propaganda purposes, journalist Yelena Suslova and human rights activist Arsen Sarkisov explained to the "Caucasian Knot". Valery Ledovskoy, coordinator of the Center for Civic Initiatives of the North Caucasus Federal District, named a warning about the consequences of participation in radical organizations as a likely goal of such propaganda.
