Ingush law enforcers get ready to meet Olympic Flame
On Monday, Magas hosted the meeting of the Antiterrorist Commission of Ingushetia. The main topics of the meeting were devoted to ensuring security during the Olympic Games in Sochi and the Olympic Torch Relay in Ingushetia.
On the eve of the Olympic Games, law enforcers collect information about citizens travelling outside the republic. This was stated by Aikman Kuzgov, Secretary of Security Council of Ingushetia.
The "Caucasian Knot" has reported that many experts have repeatedly mentioned the threat of possible terror acts that could be committed by extremists and aimed at visitors and participants of the 2014 Olympic Games. Western experts also associate the explosion committed in the route bus in Volgograd on October 21, with the terrorism threat against the Olympic Games.
It is planned that the Olympic Torch Relay will be held in two cities of the republic Mages and Nazran. The Olympic Flame will be delivered in Ingushetia from Chechnya. Meanwhile, the exact dates of the Olympic Torch Relay in Chechnya and Ingushetia are not yet reported.
According to Alikhan Kuzgov, law enforcers conducted special training and briefings to increase vigilance among volunteers, torchbearers and other persons who would have access to the places of the Olympic Torch Relay in Ingushetia.
In his turn, Yunus-Bek Evkurov, the leader of Ingushetia, has instructed officials from "Rostransnadzor" (Federal Service for Supervision of Transport) to tighten control over public transport services. This was reported by the website of the administration of the Ingush leader.
