Russia’s Federal Security Service (FSB) thwarted terrorist attacks planned by supporters of an international terrorist organization banned in Russia in Dagestan, killing two suspects who tried to resist arrest, the press office reported. Extremist literature and symbols of the international terrorist organization were seized from the suspects' residences. "Two Dagestan residents communicated with an international terrorist organization recruiter via the Telegram messenger, took an oath, and expressed their willingness to carry out a terrorist attack. On their handler's instructions, the suspects selected targets for terrorist attacks, conducted reconnaissance, and manufactured a homemade explosive device," the FSB said. The FSB added that search measures and investigative actions are ongoing and reiterated that the perpetrators continue to actively use the internet, social networks, and messengers for potential accomplices in terrorist attacks and sabotage.
