A Central Asian member of the Islamic State who was planning a suicide attack in India has been detained by the Federal Security Service (FSB) of Russia. In a press statement, the FSB said the person travelled to Turkey where he received instructions and training to carry out “a terrorist act by self detonation against one of the representatives of the ruling circles of India.”
“It has been established that a foreigner in the period from April to June 2022, while on the territory of the Republic of Turkey was recruited by one of the leaders of the International Terrorist Organisation - “IS” as a suicide bomber. His indoctrination was carried out remotely through the accounts of the Telegram messenger and during personal meetings in Istanbul by a representative of the terrorist organisation,” stated the Russian press release.
