Russia Arrests Suspect in Foiled Terror Attack
Russia's counter-terrorism agency said Thursday that special forces have arrested a man for planning a terrorist attack on Moscow that the agency had foiled last month.
The National Anti-Terrorism Committee said in a statement that troops from the Federal Security Service, or FSB, arrested Yulai Davletbayev in suburban Moscow Thursday morning.
Russian TV showed images of special forces arresting a man identified as Davletbayev. It was not clear when or where the operation took place.
Two suspected militants were killed and a third arrested in an FSB operation in May.
The men were Russian citizens trained in terrorist camps on the Afghanistan-Pakistan border, the committee said.
Russian special forces regularly announce that they have thwarted terrorist attacks, most often in the Caucasus region of southern Russia.
