[Regnum] Terrorists planning an attack on a Moscow synagogue were eliminated in the Kaluga region. The FSB announced this on March 7.
The attack on the parishioners of the capital's synagogue was planned by members of the Islamic State cell (a terrorist organization banned on the territory of the Russian Federation). As the FSB Public Relations Center (CPR) stated, the militants were eliminated in the Kaluga region.
“The activities of a cell of the international terrorist organization “Islamic State” in Afghanistan, banned in Russia, whose members were planning to carry out a terrorist attack against one of the Jewish religious institutions in Moscow, were suppressed,” the department said in a statement.
During the operational activities, law enforcement officers established that the militants planned to use firearms in the attack. When detained, they offered armed resistance, so they were eliminated by return fire. Investigators opened a criminal case regarding preparations for a terrorist attack.
As Regnum reported, on the same day, FSB officers liquidated a Belarusian citizen in Karelia who was preparing a terrorist attack on instructions from Kiev. The man was a member of the national formation “Regiment named after Kastus Kalinovsky”, banned in Belarus, and was on the interstate wanted list. The Ukrainian agent collected information about transport infrastructure and regional authorities. From a previously prepared cache, he took a homemade explosive device to blow up one of the buildings in Olonets.
