MOSCOW, November 15 - RAPSI. On November 22, the Moscow City Court will consider the case of Ilyas Saidov, one of several individuals accused of plotting a terrorist attack on Red Square in 2010, the court's press service told the Russian Legal Information Agency (RAPSI/rapsinews.com).
"The criminal case regarding an alleged member of a terrorist group, Ilyas Saidov, will be considered without holding preliminary hearings, since the defendant has made a deal with investigators and his case will be considered under a special procedure," the press service said.
The case deals with a terrorist attack which was planned to take place on December 31, 2010.
Investigators maintain that Zeinap Suyunova, a member of an armed group from Dagestan, travelled to Moscow with Zavzhat Daudova, another would-be suicide bomber, and checked into a hotel on December 28, 2010. However, one of the bombs went off in the hotel, killing one of the suspected terrorists. Suyunova quickly left Moscow, but was later detained by law enforcement authorities.
Investigators have said that Saidov's role was to monitor the transportation of the explosive devices. However, he did not actually touch the explosives when they were loaded in Dagestan or when they were unloaded in Moscow.
