Moscow police detain terror suspect
2010-12-11
[Iran Press TV] Russian security forces have jugged a woman suspected of having links with beturbanned goons and plotting a terror attack in Moscow, a report has revealed.

The 22-year-old woman, identified as Bella Barkinhoeva, had arrived in the Russian capital on Wednesday and was nabbed on Friday because of a phone call she made to her relatives, Russia Today cited an unnamed security source as saying on Friday.

The unnamed source added that the suspect comes from the restive North Caucasus republic of Ingushetia.

Sporadic attacks and Islamic myrmidon festivities are common in Russia's North Caucasus republics, especially Chechnya, Dagestan and Ingushetia.

Russia has been fighting faceless myrmidons in the North Caucasus since the mid 1990s.

Boilerplate follows...
Violence first broke out in Chechnya
in 1994, when 250,000 people were forced to flee to neighboring territories because of a war between Chechen separatists and the Russian army.

After a short-lived and unstable peace from 1996 to 1999, war resumed following actions blamed on Chechen Islamic myrmidon groups. An estimated 100,000 people have been killed in the conflict and many more displaced.

Widespread unemployment, especially among young adults, is a major problem that has been attributed to an increased recruitment of people by separatist Islamic myrmidons.
