…a town in Krasnodar Krai, Russia, on the northern coast of the Black Sea near the Sea of Azov. As far a I can tell, it’s a tourist resort…

In the video, armed security forces run into the apartment where the suspects are hiding. Photos of the three detainees are then shown. The footage also shows the mobile phones seized from the suspects and extremist literature banned in Russia.

According to the FSB, members of the criminal group were recruiting citizens to send them to Syria.

ISIS? Hayat Tahrir al Sham/Al Nusra? The Turkey-supported Muslim Brotherhood type groups that have been absorbing remnants of ISIS willing to be Turkey’s tool to attack the Kurds? Some other group?

Earlier, on May 5, FSB officers uncovered a covert cell of an international terrorist organization in Anapa. It included citizens of a Central Asian republic. They held secret meetings and recruited compatriots to participate in the terrorist organization's activities.

It was established that the three detainees acted on the orders of emissaries and disseminated terrorist ideology. Criminal cases have been opened against the suspects.

Earlier, in Stavropol Krai, two foreign citizens who were members of a terrorist organization were sentenced to 17 and 18 years in prison for plotting a terrorist attack in Pyatigorsk. According to investigators, they were assigned by their handler to film the city courthouse and acquired components for an improvised explosive device, but were detained before the plan could be carried out.
