Since 2007, the terrorist organization of al-Qaida-affiliated Kavkaz-Caucasus Emirate has been responsible for many terror attacks in south Russia. Complex terrorist attacks, such as the ones in Moscow's metro and international airport (2010), as well as bombings at Volgograd (2013 & 2015) were all carried out by this terrorist organization. The group of militants attacked a checkpoint for traffic officers in Grozny, Chechnya's capital. It was their most daring attack. It is possible to make sporting events attractive targets for terrorist attacks as demonstrated by the attacks on the 1972 Munich Olympics, the Boston Marathon, and the Stade de France in Paris, November 2015. On June 20, 2015, much of the leadership of the Dagestani-led Kavkaz Emirate that did not immigrate to Syria swore an oath of allegiance to the Islamic State and subsumed their movement into that of the caliphate. Since Ibn Khattab and his small group of Arab mujahideen joined Chechen boyeviki in the first Russo–Chechen War (1994-96), and added the notion of Jihad to what had been essentially a war for Baltic-style independence, the caliphate's oath of allegiance was taken by many of the Kadyrov family proxies.A multi-ethnic jihadi group led by ethnic Avars sought to establish a sharia-law theocracy across the small Muslim-majority regions of the northern Caucasus, known as Kavkaz Emirate or Caucasus Emirate. The Islamic State’s Dagestan branch, one of the five sub-provinces belonging to the larger Velayet Kavkaz of the Islamic State, is the most active splinter group within the Kavkaz Emirate. Following the Russian suppression of the insurgency, there have been allegations that many jihadis from the region were subsequently allowed and encouraged to emigrate to the Islamic State's caliphate in Syria in 2014-15 by Russian authorities who were glad to be rid of this menace.49 They reportedly did so via so-called "green corridors" with "facilitation, payment, passports" believed to have been approved at senior levels in the Russian government, according to a former Obama administration official quoted by ProPublica.50 The majority of insurgents who remained subsequently abandoned the Kavkaz Emirate and declared bay`a (oath of allegiance) to the Islamic State and renamed themselves the Kavkaz Velayet of the Islamic State (although the Kavkaz Emirate remained active in parts of Dagestan). The threat to the 2018 World Cup has been made a lot of times on pro Islamic State platforms over the past six month.Just you'll have to wait."75 Another image released on Telegram encrypted app was taken in April 2018. In 스포츠토토 , the Islamic State threatened Putin directly. Putin, you disbeliever. The FSB announced that several of those arrested underwent training in Islamic State camps in Syria. The FSB announced that they had arrested a terrorist group consisting of Russian and Central Asian citizens and led by an Islamic State fighter (from Turkey) who was planning to attack the Russian capitals of St. Petersburg, Moscow and Sverdlovsk.60 There have also been incidents involving "Islamic State cells" according to Russian authorities. This included a shootout on a Saratov highway in which an Islamic State terrorist unit was "eliminated". As recently as April 17, 2018, Russian security force broke up an Islamic State terrorist cell in Rostov.Although most plots involve extremists trained and directed rather than inspired by the Islamic State's Islamic State, there have been some plots that authorities say have a deeper link to Syria. One example is the October 2015 arrest of a group 10 terrorists for plotting terrorist attacks on Moscow's public transport. Russian sources stated that the FSB captured two jihadi terrorists plotting to attack Sakhalin in the Pacific and Kaliningrad in the West.85 This indicates the real threat to Russia's security. Russia is said to have detained 189 militants, and also killed 15 more for their participation in terrorist plots. Concerned about such threats, the U.S. detained 189 militants and killed 15 others. It is no surprise that the Islamic State and other global terrorist groups saw the World Cup in 2018 as an opportunity to threaten Russia, mobilize supporters and dispatch cells and spread fear.
