Magomed Davudov, a native of Dagestan, and three natives of Central Asia, arrested in Moscow, had planned to commit a series of terror acts. They were planned at the restaurant and "Teply Stan" metro station, the "Kommersant" writes with reference to its sources.

The "Caucasian Knot" has reported that the four suspects were detained on May 25 in the Moscow neighbourhood of Novo-Peredelkino. According to the FSB, the grouping was part of the terrorist organization "Islamic State" (IS) banned in Russia, and was commanded from Syria. Davudov told the court that he was born in Dagestan and rented an apartment in Moscow, where he works as a forklift driver.

According to his testimonies and those of his accomplices, their goal was to attack a restaurant where "Kafirs eat pork," but then they decided to blow up the "Teply Stan" metro station in Moscow, the "Kommersant" reports.
