24 May, 2017 RTNews

The number of terrorism-related crimes in Russia has fallen by 90 percent over the past five years, but the number of terrorist members of various extremist groups remains unchanged, the head of the National Anti-terrorism Committee has said.

“Over the past five years, the number of crimes related with terrorism has fallen 10 times. The effectiveness of preventive measures exercised by law enforcement agencies has increased,” Aleksey Kovalev said at the Modern Security Systems – Antiterror conference, currently underway in Krasnoyarsk, Siberia.

The official elaborated that the number of terrorism-related crimes committed in 2011 was 365, but fell sharply to 34 in 2016. He also said that in 2015 security agencies prevented 35 crimes connected with terrorism, while in 2016 the number of thwarted attacks was 45.

At the same time, Kovalev told participants at the conference that according to official data, the number of members of terrorist groups remains at the same level.

Bomb explodes at St. Petersburg supermarket

Tal Polon, 27/12/17

..."As of now, it has been established that 10 people were taken to the city's hospitals with injuries. At the moment, the lives of those injured are not under threat."

Earlier this month, Russian President Vladimir Putin telephoned US President Donald Trump to thank him for providing US intelligence which the Kremlin said helped prevent a bomb attack at a cathedral in St. Petersburg, as well attacks at other sites.

The Kremlin said its security forces had detained followers of the Islamic State (ISIS) terror group who had been planning a suicide bomb attack on the cathedral.

Russia has been targeted by several Islamist attacks, including an attack in April that killed 14 people when an explosion tore through a train carriage in a metro tunnel in St. Petersburg.

Putin calls Saint Petersburg blast ‘act of terror’

By AFP

MOSCOW — Russian President Vladimir Putin on Thursday called an explosion that tore through a Saint Petersburg supermarket, wounding 13 people, “an act of terror.”

“As you know, an act of terror took place in Saint Petersburg yesterday,” he said at a meeting of military officers in the Kremlin.

The homemade bomb went off in a locker at the supermarket on Wednesday evening, officials said.

Anna Mityanina, vice governor of Saint Petersburg, which is Russia’s second city, said on Twitter that of the 13 wounded, eight remained in hospital care.

...

In a sign of the severity of the situation, the case was overseen by Russia’s National Anti-Terror Committee even though authorities initially opened a probe into attempted murder.

The committee said the explosion went off after “a criminal placed an unidentified explosive device in a storage locker.”

The blast comes after a suicide bombing killed 15 people and wounded dozens on the Saint Petersburg metro in April.

That bombing was claimed by a group linked to Al-Qaeda which said it was a message to countries engaged in war with Muslims, a veiled reference to Russia’s military campaign in Syria.
