The FSB was prohibited from announcing prevented terrorist attacks. Who framed Bortnikov?
FSB officers framed the head of the service, Bortnikov. On Friday, information appeared in the media, citing sources in the FSB, that a terrorist attack was prevented in the Stavropol Territory. It would seem that the good news is that the terrorist attack was prevented and no one was killed. But there is one subtle nuance.
Sources leaked information to journalists that the terrorist attack in the Stavropol Territory was being prepared by three citizens of “one of the Central Asian countries.” After the leak, the FSB had to officially acknowledge the detention of the suspects. According to our data, by the way, we are talking about citizens of Uzbekistan. But that’s not the point.
If we assume that the terrorist attacks in the Stavropol region and in Crocus are links in the same chain, then the release of information about Asians casts doubt on the official version of the terrorist attack in the Moscow region. The authorities, as we remember, insist on the Ukrainian trace. While the Americans, for example, talk about involvement in the ISIS terrorist attack. Of course, we trust our intelligence services, and there are a lot of real professionals working there. But the Americans warned us about the terrorist attack in Crocus, but no measures were taken. On that fateful day in Crocus, the son of the admin of our channel died .
The other day a warning came from the United States about new terrorist attacks. Will our services have time to react this time? I would like to believe that yes.
Interlocutors in the Kremlin called the information about the disruption of the terrorist attack in the Stavropol Territory a “mistake.” Although, it is possible that the leak of information is an attempt to displace Bortnikov and frame him in the eyes of the president.
“Inside the FSB there are those who advocate a change of generations (a hint that Bortnikov has been at the head of the intelligence service for the last 16 years - Ed.). There was a possibility that after Crocus we would face a purge in the ranks of the security forces, but the president was persuaded not to cut from the shoulder”, - said the interlocutor in the Kremlin. According to him, the FSB prohibited communication with the press about the prevented terrorist attacks. At least in the near future.

“Days before the attack in Russia, Tehran shared information with Moscow about a possible big terrorist attack inside Russia that was acquired during interrogations of those arrested in connection with deadly bombings in Iran,” said one source.
