Three out of the four residents of Ingushetia arrested on suspicion of plotting terror acts are minors, and the fourth suspect recently turned 18, the defence reports. Mothers of the detainees claim that their children did not give rise to suspicions of sympathy for terrorists.

Firearms and edged weapons, improvised explosive devices (IEDs) and incendiary devices were seized at the places of the detainees’ residence, law enforcers report.
