The FSB liquidated the supporter of the IG who planned the terrorist attacks in Stavropol


MOSCOW, April 21 (Itar-Tass) - RIA Novosti. The FSB prevented a series of terrorist attacks in the Stavropol region, which the IG supporter planned, the press service of the ministry reported.

It is noted that the offender was preparing an adherent of the Islamic state who swore allegiance to the leader of the Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi group. According to the siloviki, he planned "resonant acts of terrorism with the use of firearms and improvised explosive devices."

"The buildings of the government of the Stavropol Territory and the territorial security agency were supposed to be the objects of terrorist attacks," the department noted.

During the detention, the terrorist rendered armed resistance and was mortally wounded. The siloviki found a shotgun with ammunition, a knife-sword, a packet with damaging elements, an IG * flag, a handwritten text with the oath of its leader, as well as layouts and approaches to the buildings of the government of the Stavropol Territory and the FSB department in the region.

Prevented acts of terrorism

As the head of the FSB, Alexander Bortnikov, said last year the siloviki prevented 25 terrorist attacks, four more terrorists managed to commit.

In the first quarter of this year, special services liquidated 12 gangs that planned six terrorist attacks. The siloviks detained 189 and destroyed 15 "bandits and their accomplices," said the head of the FSB.
