Inspectors: Egle Kusaite wanted to commit terror act in Russia

Lithuanian law enforcers assert that they prevented a terror act, planned to be committed in Russia, according to the Lithuanian State Office of Public Prosecutor, by Egle Kusaite, a citizen of Lithuania.

Let us remind you that earlier Algimantas Klyunki, Chief Public Prosecutor of the Department for Fighting Corruption and Organized Crime, said that the inquiry into the preparation of a possible terror had nothing to do with the explosions in Moscow metro on March 29.

"Kusaite did everything she could to execute the order, that is, to go to Russia and blow her up at a military object," said Public Prosecutor Justas Laucius on May 4 at the session of the Appeal Court (AC).

The AC considered the suspect's complaint against the decision to extend her custody by three months passed by the Vilnius Regional Court on April 22. The girl is in custody for more than six months already, from late October, the "Interfax" Agency reports.

The investigation believes that Egle Kusaite was in close relations with the detained Russian citizens, suspected of terrorist activities. Following the received instructions, she got trained to make explosives. Her friends also included citizens of Uzbekistan, Azerbaijan and Great Britain, adherents of extremely radical Islamic viewpoints. About two years ago she disappeared from her home and in Germany got married under Moslem rites.

In October 2009, Kusaite was detained in Lithuania with a Russian visa in her Lithuanian passport and a one way ticket. Since then, she is in custody, as the ITAR-TASS Agency reports.

Let us note here that in April the newspaper Lietuvos Rytas reported that on the eve of the terror acts in Moscow a resident of Klaipeda named Egle, 20, was detained at the Vilnius international airport. In her luggage plans of Moscow metro and data about explosive mechanisms and use thereof were found. According to the paper, Lithuanian power agents checked the version, according to which a citizen of Lithuania was among the female suicide-bombers who blew themselves up on March 29 in Moscow metro.

The Lithuanian newspaper wrote that Egle attracted the attention of security services after her persistent attempts to receive Russian visa. Finally, the Russian embassy issued a visa to her under the joint operation of Russian and Lithuanian special services to fight terrorism; while Egle's arrest at her attempt to take off for Russia was the epilogue of this operation. Also, it was written that Egle was a friend of some Chechen who lived in Klaipeda. Later he went home to Chechnya and perished there.
