Russia's Federal Security Service (FSB) has said its operatives have killed a member of an international terrorist organization who was preparing bomb attacks on a synagogue and a Moscow subway station.
The suspect, a native of a Central Asian country, was killed after he opened fire at officers who were attempting to detain him in Moscow Region, the agency said in a statement on Monday.
"The terrorist intended to detonate improvised explosive devices (IEDs) in a religious Jewish institution in Moscow Region and at one of Moscow's subway stations," the statement read.
The man, who had allegedly sworn allegiance to an unnamed terrorist group, conducted reconnaissance of the venues of the planned bombings and acquired the components necessary to produce improvised explosive devices, the FSB said.
