As Interfax reports with reference to the department, together with the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Investigative Committee, "the activity of a member of a terrorist organization who was planning to commit a terrorist act in one of the crowded places in Moscow was suppressed."
Special services and law enforcement officers in the area of abandoned garages in Khimki identified a suspicious man who opened fire while trying to arrest him.
As a result of the retaliatory actions, the offender was neutralized, the secret service said. When inspecting the scene, an AK-74u assault rifle, three loaded magazines, and three grenades were found.
They also found evidence that the bandit was associated with emissaries of international terrorists in Syria and was preparing a mass execution.
A criminal case has been initiated, and a search for possible accomplices of the terrorist is underway.
