A terrorist attack targeting a synagogue in Moscow has been prevented, the Russian Federal Security Service (FSB) announced on Thursday.
The suspect was shot and killed during a standoff with security operatives, the FSB told Russian media in a statement, adding that the man was plotting an attack against one of the city's synagogues.
The FSB has not revealed the identity of the suspect but said that he was a citizen of one of the Central Asian countries who'd arrived in Russia in 2023. The man had a criminal record at home and became radicalized while serving a prison sentence, the statement added. After arriving in Russia, the suspect started to prepare for the attack, according to the agency actively. He studied the area where the synagogue in question was located and bought chemicals and components needed to produce an improvised explosive device (IED).
