The operation to foil the terrorists’ plans involved all the regional law enforcement agencies: the Prosecutor’s Office, Federal Security Service (FSB) department, Interior Ministry’s chief department and the regional department for organized crime.
None of the agencies involved provided any detailed account of the operation and reported Press only gave the numbers of arrested suspects.
It has been revealed that all the men had been instructed to penetrate into the Volgograd Region, blend with local residents of Chechen nationality, who have long since been settled in the region, and plant bombs and kidnap people.
