Russia’s Federal Security Service (FSB) says it “neutralized” a man who was planning “terrorist attacks” on the Moscow metro and a Jewish religious institution in the Moscow region.

FSB officers attempted to arrest the suspect, but he resisted and was shot dead by return fire, the FSB says.

The suspect had planned to travel to Afghanistan and join a terrorist group following the attacks, it states.
