Russia's FSB security agency has detained a German citizen born in 1969 in the Caucasus city of Pyatigorsk, accusing her of planning a terrorist attack against a law enforcement facility in the Stavropol region. The woman was found with an improvised explosive device in her bag. The FSB claims she was recruited by a citizen from a Central Asian country working on orders from Ukraine. This case is notable as most high-profile arrests of Western citizens in Russia are on espionage charges, with detentions for actual attack plots being much rarer.
