Suspected suicide bomber detained in Chechnya
MOSCOW. June 28 (Interfax) - Police in Grozny have detained a woman reportedly recruited by extremists to carry out a terror attack.
"The 19-year-old woman had extremist literature and a suicide note for her relatives," the Chechen Interior Ministry has reported.
The woman was detained after police received intelligence from Center E of the Russian Interior Ministry's North Caucasus Department, that a woman residing in Nalchik in Kabardino-Balkaria, was recruited by an extremist group to carry out a subversive-terrorist attack in Dagestan.
"The woman was tracked down and detained in an operation, carried out by police in Grozny," the Chechen Interior Ministry said.
"She rejected charges brought against her, saying that she was planning to study Islam in a madrasah in Dagestan," it said.
"A woman whom she has never met was to meet her and take her to the madrasahs in Dagestan, the suspect said, adding that she had not told any of her relatives, including her mother, about her plans to travel to Dagestan," the Chechen Interior Ministry said.
