20 January, five Russian citizens have been detained in French Beziers, France-Presse reports with reference to the Prosecutor.
They are suspected of organizing new terrorist attacks. Europe-1 reports the detained are of Chechen origin.
To remind, leader of Crimean Tatars Mustafa Dzhemilev stated earlier that terrorist attacks of 7-9 January in Paris were mostly beneficial to Russia.
In February 2014 Russia invaded Ukraine, annexed Crimea and started exporting terrorism to eastern Ukraine. Now it seems Putin decided to extend his terroristic sphere of influence.
