Russia's FSB Says Five 'Neo-Nazis' Planned Terrorist Attacks In Bashkortostan
Security officials say they have apprehended five
"members of a neo-Nazi group" suspected of plotting a series of
terrorist acts against law enforcement in Russia's mostly Muslim-populated
Bashkortostan region.
The Federal Security Service (FSB) said on September 27 that
the five suspects were residents of Bashkortostan's capital, Ufa, and were
allegedly preparing terrorist acts using explosive materials and handmade
explosive devices.
According to the FSB, investigators found a handmade
explosive device and components for a detonator, nine bladed weapons, manuals
for making explosive devices, portraits of Nazi leaders, and Nazi memorabilia
in the suspects' homes.
The suspects are currently in pretrial detention on charges
of plotting a terrorist act, receiving training to carry out a terrorist act,
and illegal fabrication of explosive materials and devices, the FSB said.
