Explosives and Terrorism Investigation

• Bags with a total mass of 1900 kg.
• Over 10 electric detonators.
• Briquettes with plastic explosives weighing 11 kg.
• 30 meters of detonating cord.
• Clockwork fuses with a trigger time of 00 hours 25 min.

The explosives, illegally stored and prepared for the commission of at least two acts of terrorism, were not detonated due to circumstances beyond the control of the perpetrators. Law enforcement officers discovered and seized the explosives at the indicated locations on September 13, 1999. Regarding the fact of illegal storage of explosives at the address: Moscow, Krasnodarskaya St., building No. 70, a procedural decision in accordance with Art. 109 of the RSFSR Code of Criminal Procedure was unreasonably not taken.

Thus, from the facts mentioned above, sufficient data are seen indicating signs of independent crimes.

In view of the above, guided by articles 26, 108, 109, 112, 211 paragraphs 2, 3, 11 of the RSFSR Code of Criminal Procedure,

Ordered:
