Person detained in the case of explosions in Voronezh and Moscow charged with terrorism and murder

The same sabotage group was behind most of the terrorist attacks committed in Russian cities last year. This conclusion was reached by intelligence officers. According to their data, last year's explosions in the Moscow metro, at gas distribution stations and power lines in the Moscow region, at bus stops in Voronezh and at a market in Samara were carried out by militants operating under the leadership of a former cadet of a Russian military school, Pavel Kosolapov. Back in the late 90s, Kosolapov converted to Islam, fought in Chechnya on the side of the militants, and then, at the head of an international group, was sent to Russia to commit terrorist acts, writes "Vremya Novostey".

Russian intelligence services first picked up Kosolapov's trail in March last year. At that time, a terrorist base was discovered in apartment 84 of building No. 53 on Kirov Street in Lyubertsy, near Moscow. FSB operatives found:
* 21 rounds for an RPG-7 handheld anti-tank grenade launcher
* 19 electric detonators
* 18 Casio wristwatches prepared for use as a time delay in an explosive device
* two F-1 grenades
* one RGD-5 grenade.

These were the exact components used to manufacture the explosive devices used to blow up gas pipelines and a power line in the Moscow region.

At the same time, the intelligence services first suspected Kosolapov of links to the terrorists who seized "Nord-Ost" in the fall of 2002. He rented the apartment in Lyubertsy through the same real estate firm, "Kalita-Grad", through which people involved in the "Nord-Ost" seizure had also rented housing. However, the company's management is calm about such a coincidence. "There is nothing surprising in this - we are a large company, we have many clients, and it is impossible to identify bad people by their appearance. We were just unlucky again," Andrey Kirillov-Ugryumov, manager of the real estate firm, explained to "Kommersant" at the time.
