Terror attack on Russian train foiled – FSB

A man linked to a banned terrorist organization has been arrested in Stavropol Region, according to the security services

 

A man who was planning to carry out a terrorist attack on a passenger train has been arrested in Russia, the Federal Security Service (FSB) claimed on Thursday.

The suspect is from Central Asia and is alleged to have pledged allegiance to an organization that is banned in Russia.

He was detained in Stavropol Region, where he was preparing an attack on a train operating between the cities of Kislovodsk and Mineralnye Vody, according to an FSB statement.

Officials said he had conducted reconnaissance of the area and obtained materials needed to assemble an explosive device.

Security forces reported finding components, chemicals, and shrapnel elements for a homemade bomb at the man’s residence in the city of Yessentuki. 

The FSB claims that the suspect had planned to travel to Syria to join a terrorist group after the attack.

The agency has also shared a video of the suspect’s capture and interrogation, in which he confessed to having been ordered to blow up a train. He also confirmed that he had bought the components to make a bomb but didn’t get the chance to carry out the attack. The footage also shows the items found in the suspect’s apartment.

Authorities have not yet disclosed the suspect’s identity. It is also unclear to which terrorist group the man had pledged allegiance.

Last month, Russian security forces reported having prevented another terrorist attack that was being plotted by ISIS-linked operatives in Moscow. In that incident, an armed group allegedly belonging to the Afghan branch of Islamic State, ISIS-K, was reportedly planning to target law enforcement officers before being neutralized by special forces.

The suspects resisted arrest and were subsequently eliminated during a shootout with officers, the FSB said, noting that the uncovered ISIS-K cell had comprised individuals from Central Asian countries.

Russian man detained on suspicion of committing terrorist acts for Ukraine – FSB 

The suspect carried out arson attacks against military and civilian infrastructure, the agency has alleged

 

A Russian man has been arrested on suspicion of carrying out a series of sabotage and terrorist acts on behalf of the Ukrainian intelligence services, Russia’s Federal Security Service (FSB) has said.

The suspect, who is in his mid-forties, performed arson attacks against military and civilian infrastructure in Russia between 2023 and 2024, the FSB said in a statement on Thursday.

His targets included a military tractor vehicle undergoing repairs, a railway relay cabinet, a cell phone tower, and a warehouse of a civilian firm manufacturing products for the Russian Defense Ministry, it added.

Acting on his own volition, the man established contact with an operative from the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) in 2023 and underwent training on covert activities and manufacturing improvised incendiary devices, the FSB alleged.

In return for carrying out acts that harmed Russia’s economic security and defense capabilities, Ukrainian intelligence agents promised the suspect forged documents that would allow him to travel to an EU country, according to the agency.

However, after completing his final act of sabotage and requesting “evacuation” from Russia, the suspect’s handler from the SBU cut off all communication with him, the FSB stated.

A criminal case on sabotage has been launched against the man, according to the agency. The relevant article of the Criminal Code carries a punishment of between 12 and 20 years in prison. The suspect is currently giving a confessionary testimony within the framework of the case, saying that he repents of his actions, the agency said.

Of course, he does. Don't we all when we are caught?
