Six arrested over planned attacks in Russia

Security agents in Russia have detained six people suspected of planning armed attacks on educational institutions in Moscow and Tyumen.

The arrests followed a series of preventive and awareness-raising operations carried out across Russia.

The nationwide campaign aimed to curb spread of ideologies promoting mass violence and suicide among youth, officials of the Federal Security Service (FSB) told the RIA Novosti news agency on Thursday.

Searches at the suspects’ residences led to the seizure of components for improvised explosive and incendiary devices, bladed weapons, detailed plans for attacks, and materials linked to neo-Nazi and terrorist organisations.

The security agents also uncovered violent plots in the cities of Kemerovo, Rostov-on-Don, and Yoshkar-Ola.
