Five 'suspected Isis terrorists' are detained in major Moscow shopping mall over 'plot to attack targets in the Russian capital'

Five suspected ISIS terrorists allegedly plotting attacks in the Russian capital have been detained at a major Moscow shopping mall with outlets of Marks & Spencer and Topshop.

The suspects were held after a joint FSB security service and police operation in the crowded Evropeisky shopping centre, officials revealed.

The alleged cell had reportedly been plotting attacks on a school and a police station over the New Year holidays.

The FSB said 'communication devices with instructions from the ISIS international terrorist organisation's emissaries' were seized from the suspects during searches.
