[KavkazUzel] A court in Karachay-Cherkessia found three people guilty of preparing a terrorist attack and participating in the activities of Islamic State. They were sentenced to 18.5 years in a maximum security colony.

As the "Caucasian Knot" wrote, in April 2022, the FSB reported on the detention  of three people in Karachay-Cherkessia on suspicion of connections with IS and preparation of a terrorist attack on the territory of the republic. During the search, components of an explosive device, new SIM cards, as well as a diagram of the location of buildings in the center of Cherkessk were confiscated from them.

According to the case materials, the accused, “sharing terrorist ideology,” established contacts with militants in Syria via Telegram, after which, at their direction, they arrived in Cherkessk, where they rented an apartment and chose one of the administrative buildings as the target of attack. They then purchased materials to assemble an explosive device and were detained, TASS reported today, citing the FSB press service.

All three defendants in the case were found guilty by the Southern District Military Court of preparing for a terrorist act, undergoing training for the purpose of carrying out terrorist activities, participating in a terrorist organization and illegal trafficking in explosives. Each of them was sentenced to 18 years and 6 months of imprisonment to be served in a maximum security colony, the FSB noted.

The verdict has already entered into legal force.

Earlier, the "Caucasian Knot" wrote that in April the court also sentenced residents of Stavropol Ansar Guseinov, Abdula and Miyasat Irkkuev, as well as Timur Bukharov to long prison terms, finding them guilty in the case of preparing a terrorist attack on behalf of the Islamic State.
