Moscow police arrest ‘armed Islamists’ in raids
A group of radical Islamists has been arrested in Moscow with bombs, hand grenades and guns seized, Russian police say. They claim the 15 arrested are members of At-Takfir Wal-Hijra, an Islamist group originally founded in Egypt. Police say the arrests were made during early-morning raids at flats in the east of the Russian capital.
