MOSCOW. Dec 23 (Interfax) - The Russian Prosecutor General's Office has sent to court the case of a militant and his sister who persuaded a Lithuanian citizen to commit an act of terror.
"Russian Deputy Prosecutor General Viktor Grin has approved the bill of indictment of Apti and Aisha Magmadov, a brother and sister accused of organizing an illegal armed unit and assisting terrorism," a report says posted on the prosecutor's website on Thursday.
Magmadov and his sister used a mobile phone and the Internet to convince Lithuanian citizen Egle Kusaite to blow herself up in Russia, the report said.
Lithuanian and Russian security services stopped the Magmadovs.
According to detectives, Magmadov joined a unit of the Imarat Kavkaz illegal armed group in Chechnya in 2009. "The group command ordered Magmadov to select Islamic women to be ideologically and religiously prepared for terror acts," the office said.
"As Kusaite arrived in Moscow, Magmadov took her to the location of the illegal armed unit in Chechnya. After training, the unit command was supposed to choose the time, place and method of the terrorist act and to provide Kusaite with everything necessary for that purpose," the office said.
