Czech Republic

Police in the Czech Republic have discovered an alleged terrorist cell in Prague accused of helping to prepare terrorist attacks in the North Caucasus. Police detained nine suspects - one woman and eight men - who are citizens of Bulgaria and the North Caucasus. The suspects are accused of being part of the Daghestan-based radical Islamist group Jamaar Shariat, and have been charged for forging travel documents and arranging explosives and weapons for use in terrorist attacks. Police arrested seven suspects in the Czech Republic, while the remaining two suspects were detained in Germany. We expect this incident was isolated and do not foresee the country becoming a hub for terrorist activities in the near future.
