‘Detonator, explosives, UAV’: Moscow police evacuate 12-storey apartment after breaking into ‘terrorist lab’
An apartment block had to be evacuated in Moscow after police arrested a suspected terrorist, who allegedly built a home explosives lab. Local media say the suspect is a former official and lawyer turned revolutionary.
An operational video posted on the internal ministry website shows a team of agents breaking down a door and then wrestling a shirtless man to the ground on the inside during a surprise raid that took place on Wednesday. The video also captures a messy workbench, scattered printouts and jars with hand-written labels stacked around the flat.
“Found in the suspect’s flat were bomb ingredients, detonators, a chemical lab, literature on bomb-making, 16 mobile phones, 30 data storage devices and a radio-controlled flying device with a carrying capacity of 300 grams,” said the police report.
