Turkish court arrests Chechnya native detained with explosives - media

A court in Turkey ruled to arrest Russian Citizen Djamalali Gadjiev, who was detained earlier at the border with Syria carrying 1.5 kilograms of explosives, two grenades and a suicide vest, Anadolu reported.

Gadjiev is charged with participation in a terrorist organization, the media added.

On April 4, a Russian citizen from Chechen Republic was detained at the Syrian border. According to the General Staff, he was carrying explosives and intended to commit a terror attack. A group of 17 Syrian citizens were detained with him, including nine men, four women and four children.

Gadjiev was detained by security officers near the border in the Turkish Kilis province, trying to enter Turkey through an underground passage under the concrete wall built along the border.

During the interrogation the law enforcement agencies found that Gadjiev joined the ranks of ISIS (a terrorist group outlawed in Russia) two years ago, was injured fighting with a militia of Syrian Kurds and decided to leave Syria.
