Russia Foils ISIS Bomb Plot, Discovers Moscow Explosives Lab
(Newsweek) Jack Moore - Russia's Federal Security Service (FSB) has thwarted a double suicide bomb plot in Moscow directed by Islamic State, the agency said Monday. Four people were arrested for plotting the attacks: one targeting the city's metro system and another that would strike a shop. An explosives lab on the outskirts of Moscow was also uncovered. Two militants from the former Soviet Union fighting for ISIS in Syria directed the attacks. Russia estimates that 2,500 Russian nationals have joined ISIS in Iraq and Syria since 2015.
