Russian Federal Security Service prevents IS supporter-plotted terror attack in Stavropol Region

Russia’s Federal Security Service (FSB) has prevented a terror attack plotted by a supporter of the Islamic State (IS) terrorist organization (outlawed in Russia) in the Stavropol Region, a source in the FSB Public Relations Centre told TASS.

“The Russian Federal Security Service has prevented an attempted headline-making terror attack plotted by a supporter of the Islamic State terrorist organization outlawed in Russia at transport infrastructure facilities of the Stavropol Region using a home-made explosive device,” the source said.

Explosive devices and striking elements for self-made explosive devices were seized during the search of his home.

ФСБ предотвратила теракт на Ставрополье, готовившийся сторонником ИГ (группировка "Исламское государство" запрещена в РФ). У задержанного изъяли взрывчатые вещества и поражающие элементы для изготовления СВУ.
