01:08Russia: FSB detain alleged IS member in St. Petersburg
A suspect with potential connections to the so-called Islamic State (IS, formerly ISIS/ISIL) was detained in St. Petersburg, Tuesday, by Russian Federal Security Service (FSB) officers.
Security officers entered the flat of the 28-year-old native of the southern Russian Republic of Dagestan who had allegedly been trained at camps in Syria and was labelled as a "dangerous subject."
According to the FSB the suspect will remain in custody while the investigation continues to see whether he poses a threat to the public.
The arrest comes just one day after an attack on a police station in the Stavropol Region by militants. During the incident one assailant detonated a suicide vest and the other two were shot dead in a firefight with officers.
