MOSCOW, April 12 - Two suspected supporters
of the Islamic State terrorist group (outlawed in Russia), who were presumably
plotting a terrorist attack in the western Siberian city of Tyumen, were killed
in a special operation on Friday, the National Anti-Terrorism Committee said.
"When told to lay down their weapons
and surrender, the terrorists opened fire at police officers. [They] were
killed in the shootout that followed," a committee spokesperson said.
"There were no casualties among civilians or officers."
According to information obtained by
Russian security services, those individuals supported the Islamic State and
were plotting terrorist attacks.
A spokesperson for the local arm of
Russia’s state security service FSB earlier said the operation had been
launched in Tyumen when law-enforcement agencies received information about
"armed supporters of the Islamic State terrorist group (outlawed in
Russia)," who "planned to carry out terrorist attacks in the city’s
crowded areas."
The operation began at 21:56 local time
(19:56 Moscow time) in the Kalininsky district on the city’s western outskirts.
Law-enforcement agencies have cordoned off a territory that included several
houses. Later, an emergencies source told TASS that one of the buildings within
the security zone had caught fire.
