A meeting of the National Anti-Terrorism Committee was held in Moscow, dedicated to countering the spread of terrorist ideology, neo-Nazism, and religious extremism in the North Caucasus Federal District.
Law enforcement agencies of Ingushetia detained three students of the Astrakhan Medcademia. They were reported missing and suspected of planning a terrorist attack.
Brothers Malik and Ramazan Gandaloev from Ingushetia and their classmate from Dagestan Arsen Gammadov were found in the mountain-wooded area of the Sunwomen district. The investigation is to find out the motives behind the illegal whereabouts of the young people.
Malik and Ramazan Gandaloev, along with a friend from Dagestan, studied at the Astrakhan Medical Academy. On February 27, the three of them left for Ingushetia on a bus, without warning their parents and the university administration. After that, the relatives announced a reward of 1 million rubles for information about the whereabouts of the brothers. The police declared them wanted.
