Russia’s Federal Security Service (FSB) has reported that it thwarted a terrorist attack in the Moscow area.
The would-be bomber was apprehended before he had a chance to carry out his plan to blow up a government building.
According to the FSB, the unnamed young man, a native of Central Asia, was trying to join a terrorist faction in the Middle East. This conclusion was made based on a history of messages with known terrorists, along with a video of him swearing allegiance to them.
Footage from the special operation also shows multiple cellphones, a revolver and the flag of the Islamic State (IS, formerly ISIS) terrorist group being removed from the man’s apartment.
