MOSCOW, February 17 (RIA Novosti) - Russia's Federal Security Service (FSB) said Saturday that a warlord killed earlier this week in Chechnya as part of a mopping-up operation had been plotting a series of terrorist acts targeting civilians in the republic's capital, Grozny.
"Two caches were discovered in and outside Grozny on February 17, containing ammunition for land mines, which the bandits [from Abdula Ganishev's gang] were planning to use for spectacular terrorist attacks against the civilian population in the Chechen capital shortly," FSB said in a press release.
Ganishev, killed in Grozny on Thursday, had an extensive crime record, including murders, abductions and terrorist attacks against civilians and federal service personnel.
