Terror attack prevented in Georgia: ministry
Georgian Interior Ministry has prevented a terrorist attack in Tbilisi. According to the statement made by the ministry, foreigners Mikail Kadyev and Rizwan Omarov were detained in Tbilisi this morning as a result of the joint operation carried out by various law enforcement agencies.
A large quantity of explosives (allegedly plastids), electric detonators, firearms and fake IDs were seized during a search of their house.
Investigators have determined that Kadyev, wanted by Interpol, has been hiding in Georgia since 2011, although periodically leaving the country.
Intensified search operations are underway to identify connections of the suspects and those who patronized them in Georgia.
Contacts were established with international anti-terrorist organizations, as Kadyev is wanted in a European country for a crime committed in 2012.
