One of women detained in Dagestan prepared self-blowing in Moscow, power agencies say

According to a high-ranking source in power agencies of the North-Caucasian Federal District (NCFD), one of the six women detained on July 12 in Makhachkala was going to come to Moscow in July and commit a terror act there.

"According to militants' plans, she was to leave for the Russian capital in mid-July. At the moment of detention, the woman had already said goodbye to her relatives and wrote her farewell letter," the source told the RIA "Novosti", but refused to name the woman.

It was reported earlier that a firearm and a farewell letter had been found only on one of the detainees - Zaira Akaeva, the widow of Magomed Ismailov, 18, killed last November, the "NEWSru.com" notes.
