A suspect allegedly planning a terror attack on a major Moscow museum was arrested by Russian authorities after a tip-off from the United States, Russia\u2019s security agency FSB announced on Sunday.<\/p>\n
The FSB said information shared with Russia by U.S. law enforcement led to the arrest of the Russian citizen, who is a minor. The agency said it was \u201cgrateful to the US side for the information provided.\u201d<\/p>\n
The arrest came after the U.S. Embassy in Moscow issued a security alert on Saturday, warning it was \u201caware of a credible threat of a mass casualty event\u201d at the Tsaritsyno Museum Reserve in Moscow.<\/p>\n
CNN contacted the museum after the alert was issued and was told the institution was not aware of any warnings. However, several events scheduled to take place at the venue were later canceled, and security measures were put in place, according to Russian state media.<\/p>\n
The unnamed suspect was detained after posting images on TikTok of himself wearing tactical clothing and an \u201cobject resembling an automatic weapon\u201d and sharing photos taken at the Tsaritsyno Museum Reserve with the caption: \u201cI found a place,\u201d according to the FSB.<\/p>\n
The FSB said the teenager subscribed to a neo-Nazi channel on Telegram and made \u201csignificant number of search queries regarding past terrorist acts, mass murders, and other violent acts.\u201d It said airsoft weapons were found at the suspect\u2019s home.<\/p>\n
It is not unusual for the U.S. to share security warnings with other countries \u2014 the State Department has a long-standing \u201cduty to warn\u201d policy and is obligated to let U.S. expat communities know of any threats.<\/p>\n
The alert issued on Saturday said the U.S. government was \u201ccoordinating with appropriate Russian authorities on a response.\u201d<\/p>\n
However, Russia has not always received U.S. warnings with thanks. In March 2024, during the Biden administration era, the U.S. embassy in Moscow warned that ISIS militants were determined to target Russia, specifically saying there were \u201cimminent plans to target large gatherings in Moscow,\u201d including at concerts.<\/p>\n
Russian President Vladimir Putin dismissed that warning as a provocation. Days later, assailants stormed Moscow\u2019s Crocus City Hall venue and killed more than 140 people. ISIS claimed responsibility for the attack.<\/p>\n
Putin\u2019s reaction was different in 2017, during U.S. President Donald Trump\u2019s first presidency, when the U.S. warned Moscow about a planned terror attack at the Kazan Cathedral in St Petersburg. According to a Kremlin statement, Putin personally thanked Trump for the information, saying it was enough to locate and detain the suspects.<\/p>\n
The latest warning and the FSB\u2019s public statement thanking the U.S. comes at a time of increased scrutiny of the Trump administration\u2019s relationship with Russia.<\/p>\n
Trump has made significant concessions to Russia on sanctions in recent weeks, which have triggered criticism on both sides of the aisle in Washington and driven a wedge between the U.S. and its Western allies.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A suspect allegedly planning a terror attack on a major Moscow museum was arrested by Russian authorities after…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":444691,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[14],"tags":[209,211,210,173232,409,15298,173218,4211,173237,53629,712,116655,173236,47918,173226,173231,173216,173215,173221,26286,173227,1181,99,40759,5767,173225,173219,173238,173235,173223,64807,199,285,173222,86730,24705,173234,173230,3709,173228,2684,173229,173217,64619,4571,173224,173233,173220,5768,13495],"class_list":["post-444690","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-cape-coral","tag-cape-coral","tag-cape-coral-headlines","tag-cape-coral-news","tag-crocus-city-hall","tag-donald-trump","tag-europe","tag-fsb","tag-information","tag-isis-militant","tag-jsnd","tag-law","tag-mass-casualty-event","tag-minor-suspect","tag-moscow","tag-moscow-arrest","tag-moscow-mass-casualty-threat","tag-moscow-museum","tag-moscow-terror-attack","tag-moscow-terror-threat","tag-national-security","tag-neo-nazi-channel","tag-place","tag-politics","tag-putin","tag-russia","tag-russia-security-alert","tag-russia-terror-plot","tag-russian-authority","tag-russian-citizen","tag-russian-security-agency","tag-security-alert","tag-st-petersburg","tag-suspect","tag-suspected-terror-attack","tag-telegram","tag-terror-attack","tag-terror-plot","tag-terrorism-warning","tag-tiktok","tag-tiktok-suspect","tag-trump","tag-trump-russia-relations","tag-tsaritsyno-museum-reserve","tag-u-s-embassy","tag-united-states","tag-us-embassy-moscow","tag-us-intelligence","tag-us-russia-warning","tag-vladimir-putin","tag-warning"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/444690","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=444690"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/444690\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/444691"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=444690"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=444690"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=444690"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
