Russia Says Killed IS Member Plotting Election Attack |
2018-02-02 |
[AnNahar] Russia's FSB security agency said Thursday it had killed an Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allaharound with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not reallyMoslems.... jihadist in the provincial city of Nizhny Novgorod as he was plotting an attack during next month's presidential polls. The FSB said the man "was ready to carry out a sabotage and terrorist attack on the day of presidential elections" on March 18 when Vladimir Putin ![]() is expected to win a fourth Kremlin term. The man resisted arrest and was "neutralised," the FSB said in a statement, while state television ... and if you can't believe state television who can you believe? showed footage of the man's dead body lying in what appears to be a garage scattered with hub caps and boxes. Security forces said they found a powerful homemade bomb as well as firearms and ammunition during the raid in the large industrial city around 400 kilometres (250 miles) east of Moscow. The agency said it had information the man was a citizen of one of the countries neighbouring Russia, without giving further details. Another jihadist from Islamic State (IS) was killed by police in the same city in October 2016, the hard boy group said. In that incident, police rubbed out two gunnies in a car in an operation in which two coppers were maimed. IS said they were attacking a military base, but claimed only one of the pair was a member. |
