Putin attack foiled: Russia’s FSB kills ISIS terrorist plotting election day strike
A statement issued by the Russian FSB said officers had shot dead a suspected ISIS militant who “provided armed resistance” as they tried to arrest him in the city of Nizhny Novgorod.
The agency said it found a powerful improvised explosive device, bomb-making equipment, guns and ammunition after searching the location where the man was killed.
The suspect was reportedly "prepared to carry out" an attack on March 18, when Russians head to the polls to vote in the presidential election.
The FSB added the alleged jihadist was from an unnamed former Soviet republic but did not provide any further details.
