The regional prosecutor's office has charged Maksim Panaryin, detained in the case of explosions in Voronezh and Moscow, with terrorism and murder.

Panaryin has been charged under Articles 205 part 2 (terrorism) and 105 part 2 (murder) of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation for explosions at public transport stops in Voronezh and near the "Rizhskaya" metro station in Moscow, reported Galina Gorshkova, senior assistant to the regional prosecutor.

Under these articles, Panaryin faces life imprisonment.

The public relations group of the Voronezh UFSB stated that the detainee fully admitted his participation in the preparation and implementation of the explosions, Interfax reports.

According to the agency's source, on May 8 in Voronezh, the regional FSB department, together with units of the central apparatus of the Russian FSB, detained a "militant of the Karachay jamaat, a member of a clandestine terrorist group financed by emissaries of terrorist centers in the North Caucasus."

According to the investigation, in the period from 1999 to 2002, he took part in hostilities in Chechnya on the side of illegal armed groups (IAF).

"In 2003, on the instructions of one of the leaders of the IAF, Gloov, he legalized himself on the territory of Russia using false documents for the purpose of preparing and carrying out sabotage and terrorist acts. At the end of 2003, the militant arrived in Voronezh, where, together with another member of the Karachay jamaat, he carried out three explosions. In total, his group planned to use 15 improvised explosive devices (IEDs)," the agency's source said.

The FSB department added that the instructions to carry out the terrorist attacks in Voronezh were given personally by Gloov (the first explosion) and the amir of this jamaat, Nikolai Kipkeev (the second and third). The explosion on January 26, 2005, was carried out by another militant who later died.

"The detainee fully admitted his participation in the preparation and implementation of the explosions in Voronezh. During interrogation, he described in detail the design features of the explosive devices and reported the location of a cache with components of IEDs for subsequent terrorist attacks. In addition, the militant reported that after the July explosions in Voronezh, he moved to Moscow, where, together with Khubiev and Kipkeev, he prepared a terrorist attack in the metro at the "Rizhskaya" station," the agency's source reported.

The UFSB emphasized that "the terrorist's confession regarding his participation in the activities of the IAF (episodes involving a raid into Dagestan as part of Khattab's gang, the shooting of the Perm OMON, and...)" has been procedurally secured.
