[REGNUM.RU] FSB officers have prevented a terrorist attack in Yaroslavl. A Russian citizen who planned to set fire to a synagogue has been detained,the FSB Public Relations Center (PRC) reported on June 29.

The agency clarified that the detainee is a supporter of an international terrorist organization banned in Russia. He contacted its representative online, located in Syria, and acted on his instructions.

That sound like ISIS, dear Reader.

To prepare the attack, the man acquired components and chemicals for making Molotov cocktails. He also conducted reconnaissance of the area and photographed the synagogue he planned to attack.

After the arson, the suspect planned to travel to Syria and join terrorists.

Making his bones?

FSB officers detained him before committing the crime.

Well done, guys.

During a search of the detainee's residence, ready-to-use homemade incendiary devices were seized, as well as communication equipment containing instructions from the supervisor of a terrorist organization.

The Investigative Department of the Federal Security Service of Russia for the Yaroslavl Region opened a criminal case on preparation for a terrorist act (Part 1 of Article 30, Subparagraph “a” of Part 2 of Article 205 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation) and participation in the activities of a terrorist organization (Part 2 of Article 205.5 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation).

Earlier, FSB officers detained a Mariupol resident while attempting to commit a terrorist attack on the city courthouse. The man contacted a representative of the Ukrainian intelligence services via Telegram and, on instructions from his handler, retrieved an improvised explosive device from a hiding place. He planned to detonate it in one of the city's district courts. Criminal cases were opened against the suspect for treason, preparation for a terrorist attack, and illegal trafficking of explosives, and the court remanded him in custody.
