"Sixty-nine terrorism-related crimes have

been prevented so far this year, 36 of which

terrorists planned to carry out in public places.

Over 350 members of illegal armed groups

have been detained," said Alexander Bortnikov,

who is also director of the Federal Security

Service (FSB).

He said in 2008 over 170 militants, including

13 group leaders, had been killed during counter

terrorist operations in the North Caucasus.

Bortnikov said a number of terrorist leaders

were killed in special operations in the North

Caucasus region in September. He added that

the terrorist leaders, including the "Amir of

Daghestan," Ilgar Malachiyev, had been killed

in Daghestan's Khasavyurt and Buinaksk Districts,

Ingushetia's Malgobek District, and Chechnya's

Vedeno district. The FSB chief said major terrorist

attacks had been stopped in the southern Russian

resorts of Sochi and Anapa this summer.

"In July-August this year, an attempt by the

terrorist Umarov, and an emissary of al-Qaeda,

Moganned, to stage terrorist attacks in the resort

cities of Sochi and Anapa using powerful explosives

was prevented," he said.

The chief Russian antiterrorist official warned that

there was a real possibility of terrorist acts being

carried out in Russian regions bordering on South

Ossetia and Abkhazia.

"The National Antiterrorism Committee has received

evidence that there is a threat of terrorist acts in

Russian areas bordering on South Ossetia and

Abkhazia," he said.

Bortnikov also said over 30 members of the

banned extremist organization Hizb ut-Tahrir

had been brought to justice since the year start.

Ryssland planerar mörda georgisk president

Russian intelligence allegedly getting

ready for terrorist act against

President of Georgia.

The Russian intelligence agencies have been

preparing for an act of terrorism against the

President of Georgia, Mikhaill Saakashvili,

online paper Nasha Abkhazia reports.

**

The online source says the given information

became known to it from one of the leaders

of the Abkhazian regime. This very person

had met in Sochi with the deputy chief of the

Main Intelligence Directorate (GRU) of the

Russian General Staff, General Pinov, with

whom the question on the operation was

discussed.

**

The directive to organize the terrorist act

against Saakashvili has been reportedly given

by the Secretary of Security Council of the

Russian Federation, former Federal Security

Service (FSB) Director, Nikolai Patrushev,

and the Federal Security Service and the GRU

were tasked to carry it out. This task has been

developed by the Caucasian directorate of the

FSB and the 5th department of the GRU

independently from each other. According to

the scenario of special services of the Russian

Federation, Saakashvili might be attacked by

members of an Ossetian paramilitary formation

which ostensibly « revenge on Saakashvili for

the blood of their confreres spilled in Tskhinvali».

**

It is not excluded that special services of the

Russian Federation have forced the members

of the particular unit to take the commitment

of the act of terrorism and afterwards the

"terrorists" would be certainly killed, Nasha

Abkhazia marks. According to news agency

Medianews, between 2006 and May, 2008,

the Russian special services considered physical

liquidation of Saakashvili only at a theoretical

level.

They started to think about it at a practical level

since September, 2007, when it became clear that

they would fail to create chaos in Georgia, and

there was no force to launch new revolution

against the current Georgian President.

**

According to the agency’s source, Patrushev

has given command that the group which

should carry out the act of terrorism, is ready

for action in November-December. According

to calculations of special services of the Russian

Federation, in case of success of the operation,

a large-scale struggle for power and complete

chaos would start in Georgia that is in every

possible way favourable to the official Moscow,

Nasha Abkhazia concludes.
