More on this story from yesterday.
[KavkazUzel] The Maykop City Court has arrested a native of Tajikistan, Idris Idibekov, for two months in connection with the case of preparing an attack on a church.
Yesterday he was described merely as from one of the countries of the Central Asian region, today we have a name and nation.
As reported by the "Caucasian Knot", a native of one of the Central Asian countries  was preparing an attack on an Orthodox church in Maikop and the murder of clergy and security guards. An incendiary mixture and a flag of a terrorist organization were confiscated from the detainee, the FSB reported. In a video recording published by the agency, during interrogation, he said that, having watched videos of supporters of the "Islamic State"*, he planned to stab a security guard and set the building on fire.
Yesterday we guessed that. Today it is confirmed.
The Maykop City Court has arrested Idris Idibekov, a native of Tajikistan, accused of attempting a terrorist attack on the Holy Dormition Cathedral in Maykop, Interfax reported today.

"To assign Idibekov a preventive measure in the form of detention for two months, until September 10, 2024 inclusive," the agency quoted the judge as saying.

The judge emphasized that the accused, a native of Dushanbe, has dual citizenship - Russian and Tajik.

As the "Caucasian Knot" reported, on June 23, Trinity Day, which is one of the main Christian holidays, militants attacked synagogues and an Orthodox church in Derbent and Makhachkala. On June 23, the American Institute for the Study of War stated that  the cell  "Vilayat Kavkaz"*, a division of the "Islamic State"*, was behind the attacks.
