[KavkazUzel] Security officials believe that the detainees received religious training abroad and then returned to Russia and swore allegiance to the Islamic State.
According to a source in the security forces, FSB officers detained two members of the terrorist organization Islamic State (IS), banned in Russia by the court, in Ingushetia: 25-year-old Azamat G. and 29-year-old Zurab D.
According to investigators, both were undergoing religious training abroad and fell under the influence of radical ideologists there. After returning to Russia, they swore allegiance to ISIS; their foreign handlers planned to use both of them in terrorist activities, Izvestia reported today.
The publication published two videos. One of them shows an entrance and several security officers in military gear and with weapons. One of them shouted: "We're going to break down the door, open up." Then another one started to knock it down. The door opened, and the security officers demanded that the person in the apartment lie down on the floor. Then a man is shown standing near the wall. The security officer demanded that he give his name and year of birth. At this point, the video ends.
Another video shows security forces getting out of a minibus and then using a portable ladder to climb over the gate of a house into its yard. They then inspect the territory of the house and the buildings on it. Then a man opens the door to the house for them. After that, two men are shown, one of them lying on the floor, the other standing near the wall. The security forces told this man that a case had been opened against him.
