Pakistan Roots Seen in Moscow Plot

[for truth]

Suspected militants targeted this week in a deadly raid outside Moscow as they purportedly plotted an attack on the city received training in the troublesome border region between Afghanistan and Pakistan, law enforcement said Tuesday — an allegation that experts called a reminder of the threat posed by Russian radicals coached and sometimes financed from abroad.

Special forces officers killed two men and detained a third in Orekhovo-Zuyevo, about 80 kilometers from Moscow, in the raid Monday, the National Anti-Terrorism Committee said.

The officers came under fire when they surrounded a house where the suspects were staying and demanded that they surrender. In the ensuing firefight, the officers shot and killed two of the suspects, and captured another, the committee said.

One special forces officer suffered a light wound. There were no civilian casualties.

"The decisive actions of law enforcement agencies foiled an effort to commit a terror attack in the capital," the committee said in a statement late Monday.

The suspects are Russian citizens who returned from Afghanistan or Pakistan, where they received battle training and prepared to carry out terror attacks, the statement said.

The Federal Security Service briefed President Vladimir Putin about the operation and kept him updated about its progress, his spokesman Dmitry Peskov said.

A law enforcement source told Interfax that the men were planning to strike a large-scale public gathering in Moscow. Security officers acted on intelligence data, the source added.

Police discovered a Kalashnikov assault rifle and 25 rounds of ammunition in their home, Interfax said.

Another law enforcement source told Interfax that the men had lived in Pakistan and practiced Islam.

I think there is something wrong with Pakistan's education system. This can't be a co-incidence every time. How come majority terrorists are Pakistani origin?

Reviewing the text books and syllabus in Pakistan would be a great help to Pakistanis themselves.

Well, if Russians don't give up their support for President Assad, then CIA knows very well how to persuade the Russians.

Nope. They're not going to openly blame the CIA now are they?

They are Russians , they do .

 

[Cyberian]

They are Russians , they do .

Nah, I don't think so. The Soviets couldn't even openly confront the Americans back in the 1980s when so much evidence was available of America's full support for Al-Qaida Al-Subha, I mean the "Freedom Fighters" as portrayed in Rambo 3.

Instead though, the Soviets were getting loans from the United States to keep their troops in Afghanistan just like the US has been depending on China for the past 12-years in this matter.

Just like we see Russian link in Boston plot..
