Death planners were not allowed to blow Sochi
Terrorist attacks on Olympic facilities in Sochi with the participation of suicide bombers managed to prevent the Russian special services together with their foreign counterparts, said FSB director Alexander Bortnikov. "It was before the Olympics, and it concerned the intentions of the bandit underground in Russia, individuals located on the territory of other states, primarily in Turkey, Germany and Austria, who were preparing terrorist attacks on Olympic facilities, including those using suicide bombers," he.
The director of the FSB noted that at the same time a ban was introduced on bringing liquids on board the aircraft. This, he said, was due to the fact that the terrorists wanted to use special liquids as a means of initiating an explosion, Interfax reports.
According to Bortnikov, a special role in preventing terrorist threats belongs to the United States, France, Germany, Austria and Georgia, which helped us stop several real threats associated with possible terrorist attacks on Olympic venues.
