Radical Islamic activist a national of Uzbekistan arrested in Perm - FSB
Tashkent, Uzbekistan (UzDaily.com) -- Officers of the Perm regional branch of the Federal Security Service (FSB) have traced in the city of Perm an emissary of a terrorist organisation entitled “Islamic jihad group” - Atabek Tukhtamuradov, a national of Uzbekistan, a representative of the press service of the FSB regional department told Itar-Tass on Friday.

According to his information, members of the organization, including Tukhtamuradov, “enlisted people to it to be trained in specialized military mujaheed camps on the territory of Afghanistan, Pakistan and other countries for fulfilling criminal missions, for instance the training of saboteur terrorists.”

The FSB regional branch obtained information that the investigating department of the National Security Service of Uzbekistan instituted criminal proceedings against Tukhtamuradov early in 2009 under the articles of the Uzbek Criminal Code dealing with terrorism, the kindling of inter-ethnic and religious strife, an attempt to undermine the constitutional system, the organization of a criminal group and smuggling. Crimes under those articles may be punished by prison terms of up to 15 years.

Tukhtamuradov was hiding in the Perm Territory from the persecution of the law enforcement agencies. Wishing to legalize his criminal activities, he planned to find a way of getting Russian citizenship, by-passing the current legislation.

The investigating officers established that Tukhtamuradov took part in the activities of the “Islamic jihad group”, which has connections with Al Qaeda terrorist organisation.

The court of the Industrialny District of Perm ruled that Tukhtamuradov should be deported away from Russia in a compulsory and controlled way. The court ruling was put into effect.
