An alleged supporter of a terror group planned to blow up a building housing law enforcement in Dagestan, security forces say

Russia's Federal Security Service, in cooperation with the Ministry of Internal Affairs, has thwarted a planned terrorist attack against law enforcement officers in the southern Republic of Dagestan, allegedly planned for Victory Day.

The authorities have detained a 27-year-old female supporter of a banned international terrorist organization, according to a press release published on Friday. The suspect was allegedly planning to detonate an improvised explosive device at an administrative building housing law enforcement in Khasavyurt, the second largest city of the republic.

Officials seized components intended for the construction of the explosive device during the arrest raid. Messages found on her electronic devices allegedly show she had specified plans for the bombing and her loyalty to the group, which is banned in Russia.

In a video released by FSB, the suspect says that she was told to prepare a suicide attack on May 9, Victory Day, when Russia and other countries celebrate the defeat of Nazi Germany in 1945.

Traditionally, Victory Day is a public holiday when hundreds of thousands of people participate in military parades and memorial events celebrated across the country. In Moscow, the annual parade will be held on Red Square, with more than 20 foreign leaders expected to be present.
