Russia's FSB says minor detained over park attack threat after US tip-off
Russian agents detained an underage suspect after a U.S. warning, and investigators found social media posts and extremist searches, Interfax reported.
- On Sunday, Russia's Federal Security Service detained an underage Russian national for planning a terrorist attack at Moscow's Tsaritsyno Park, following a tip-off from the United States.
- The United States Embassy in Moscow issued an urgent security alert on Saturday, prompting evacuation of the Tsaritsyno Museum Reserve during a concert by musician Lilia Pechenkina.
- Officials searching the teenager's home discovered tactical gear, while his phone revealed subscriptions to Nazi-linked Telegram channels and "a significant number of searches concerning terrorist attacks, mass killings and other acts of violence."
- The FSB stated, "We are grateful to the American side for providing the information," marking rare cooperation despite Sergei Naryshkin, Russia's foreign intelligence chief, previously calling U.S. warnings "too general."
- This cooperation follows the 2024 United States warning regarding the Crocus City Hall attack, which killed 145 people. Russia's Investigative Committee is evaluating legal action against the detained minor.
