Power agents have detained all the unit members and confiscated high-power improvised explosive devices (IEDs), two pistols, grenades, communication equipment and components for making IEDs. The detainees themselves told that they had planned to blow up bombs stuffed with nails in the crowd, the RIA “Novosti” reports referring to the information of the FSB’s Public Relations Centre (PRC).

The special operation was conducted on September 30, the TASS adds citing the PRC.
