On September 30, FSB officers detained foreign emissaries who secretly recruited new members to the ranks of the "Islamic state" (banned in the Russian Federation). This was reported in the Center for Public Relations of the FSB. The department specified that the cell included people from the North Caucasus region who share the idea of ??forcibly uniting Muslims in the "World Islamic Caliphate". The detainees planned to commit "resonant" terrorist attacks, namely, to detonate bombs in places of mass congestion of people, as well as on objects of transport infrastructure. In the place of residence of the militants, special services officers discovered two powerful bombs ready for use, as well as two Makarov pistols, two RGD-5 grenades, communications equipment and components for manufacturing new explosive devices. Now the question of initiating a criminal case on the illegal manufacture of explosives and the organization of a terrorist organization is being decided, RIA Novosti reports..

Earlier it became known about the suppression in Crimea of ??the activities of the international religious extremist group Tablighi Jamaat, whose members fought for the "world caliphate".
