Russia’s Federal Security Service of the Russian Federation (FSB) counter-terrorism team have released footage of breached flats across Moscow to capture suspected terrorists. The security agency released footage of the raids showing heavily armed officers gaining entry and demanding the occupants comply with their demands. The elite squad targeted members of Hizb ut-Tahrir, a radical Islamist organisation considered terrorists in Russia.

No shots were fired during the rapid raid and nine members of the network were captured and arrested, including two ring leaders.

The FSB insisted that the Islamist were conspiring against the Russian government and readying for a “violent coup”.

During the raid, a treasure trove of propaganda leaflets and brochures were retrieved.
