The FSB suppressed the activities of a cell of the international terrorist organization Hizb ut-Tahrir al-Islami in Crimea. This was reported to TASS on Wednesday in the Center for Public Relations of the Federal Security Service of Russia.
"As a result of coordinated actions, Russian Federal Security Service officers in the towns of Dzhankoy and Yalta neutralized a concealed cell of the terrorist organization consisting of six Russian citizens," the agency said.
It was established that with the coordination of Hizb ut-Tahrir emissaries located in Ukraine, they were recruiting Russian residents from among local Muslims to their ranks at conspiratorial meetings.
Propaganda materials, means of communication, and electronic media used for terrorist activities were confiscated from the places of residence of the cell members. Criminal cases were initiated. The investigation continues.
