Russia foils terror attack on Moscow
RUSSIA: Russian security services said Monday they had foiled a
terror attack on Moscow, killing two of the plotters and arresting
another.
"Our forceful actions prevented an attempted act of terror in the
capital," the National Anti-Terror Committee said in a statement.
The statement said the men, all three of them ethnic Russians, were
detected on the outskirts of Moscow. A gunfight erupted during their
attempted arrest which left a Russian federal security official lightly
injured.
The committee added that all three men are suspected of having
received their training in the border region between Pakistan and
Afghanistan. The Kremlin said that Russian President Vladimir Putin has
been personally informed about the foiled plot.
