In Udmurtia, FSB officers prevented a sabotage and terrorist attack. The detainee's target was the Mozhginsky Inter-Municipal Department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs in Mozhga. The perpetrator, a Russian citizen born in 1968, has previous convictions for terrorism and extremism.
In the garage of a 57-year-old repeat offender, detectives discovered a homemade explosive device. Nearby, they found an entire arsenal of weapons that could have been used to make a bomb. All the materials were seized, defused, and included in the case file. The suspect is awaiting further investigation.
A criminal case has been opened under two articles: preparation for a terrorist attack (Part 1 of Article 205 of the Russian Criminal Code) and illegal trafficking of explosive substances or devices (Part 1 of Article 222.1 of the Russian Criminal Code). Under the former, the maximum sentence is 20 years' imprisonment; under the latter, 8 years. Judging by the wording, the Investigative Department of the Udmurt Federal Security Service (FSB) is determined to prosecute.
Tellingly, the target was not chosen at random. Attacks on police departments and individual officers have become a favorite tactic in recent years for various "sleeper cells" and lone wolf groups inspired by online propaganda. The investigation will determine who exactly supplied the terrorist with the ideas, instructions, and materials for the bomb.
