Train terror plot derailed: 4 arrests

Detained members of a subversive group were preparing a new terrorist act on the Moscow-St. Petersburg railroad, planning to blast the Sapsan high velocity express train, reports Kommersant newspaper citing its source in Russia's Security Service. Four terrorists-to-be were arrested in July thanks to timely information. A native of Russia's Kabardino-Balkarian republic, 22-year-old Islam Khamudjev, left his home in 2010 to join militants. He passed training in one of the terrorists' camps in Dagestan and set off to Moscow with some plan in mind. In the Russian capital, Khamudjev's accomplice, Murad Eldirbiev, bought fertilizer containing ammonia nitrate to produce a bomb. Their acquaintance Fyarid Nevlyudov was nominated to be driver of the group. A fourth suspect, Murad Umaev, was not personally involved in preparing the terror act, but was present when the group gathered and took part in discussions. Failed terrorists picked up a handy location with convenient escape routes on the railway in Moscow's Khimki suburbs to plant the bomb.
