Russia halts counter-terror ops

Federal Security Service of Russia halts counter-terror ops launched January in Ingushetia

RIA Novosti News reported Sunday, Feb. 3, on a counter-terrorist operation launched in the Republic of Ingushetia January 25 due to the threat of an imminent large-scale terrorist attack.

The operations have been terminated, Federal Security Service headquarters said Sunday. 

Russia's Federal Security Service earlier said it had received information indicating that "terrorists had been preparing a series of attacks on administrative buildings, police and citizens in public places on the territory of Ingushetia."

"The headquarters has made a decision to terminate…the counter-terrorist operation launched on January 25, 2008. Measures and temporary restrictions introduced in Ingushetia have been lifted," the statement said.

Ingushetia is located in the Russian North Caucasus, and neighbors the troubled Chechen Republic, site of two devastating separatist wars since the break up of the U.S.S.R in 1991.

While both republics have been plagued by attacks on police and authorities, as well as militant raids, violence has steadily escalated in recent months in Ingushetia. 

Homegrown terrorism is an unbelievably horrific plague - national leaders turn blind eyes and the general public ignores signs until it’s too late…then it comes to a constant warfare against militant millions holed up in remote regions.

On Jan. 9, in Ingushetia, gunmen opened automatic gunfire and launched grenades at two police cars carrying six police officers, killing one senior officer and wounding another.

A police officer was later killed by unknown gunmen in the republic on January 16.

On Jan. 17, a gun and grenade attack in Nazran reportedly targeted the home of republic's prime minister.

Russian FSB Director Nikolai Patrushev was attending a meeting of the National Antiterrorism Committee in Magas at the time of the attack.

Well, when it starts up in America, maybe then more will listen…
