Russia: Terrorists don’t go to Syria – they stay in Russia

Supporters of international terrorists no longer look for opportunities to travel abroad to take part in hostilities. Their leaders order them to stay on the territory of the Russian Federation, Andrei Kokourov, a senior representative for the National Anti-Terrorist Committee said. "The leaders of international terrorist organizations order their supporters not to travel outside the Russian Federation - either to Syria or to other countries - but to stay in places of their residence where they can create cells and prepare terrorist acts," the official said during the forum for counteraction to the ideology of terrorism in the educational sphere. Special services also note the trend, in which people radicalize themselves at their own will and start showing interest in radical ideologies without external influence.
