Russia's counter-terrorism agency says it killed two militants it
believes were planning a terrorist act in Moscow and detained a third.
The National Anti-Terrorist Committee said Monday in a statement that
one of its special forces was lightly wounded in the operation in the
Moscow suburb of Orekhovo-Zuevo.
It said the militants were Russian citizens who had received training in Pakistan.
It was not clear when the operation took place and no further information was immediately available.
Russian special forces regularly announce that they have thwarted
terrorist attacks, most often in the Caucasus region of southern Russia.
The last major terrorist attack in Moscow was a suicide bombing at the
Domodedovo international airport in January 2011 that left 37 people
dead.
