LPR reports prevention of terror attack on OSCE monitors

LUHANSK. July 4 (Interfax) - Employees of the self-proclaimed Luhansk People's Republic (LPR) State Security Ministry have prevented a terror attack on members of the OSCE Special Monitoring Mission (SMM) in Luhansk, a ministry spokesman told Interfax.

"Employees of the State Security Ministry have prevented a terror attack of the Ukrainian security services on international monitors of the OSCE mission," the spokesman said.

A Ukrainian sabotage-and-reconnaissance team was operating in Luhansk to plot an attack on OSCE SMM monitors for the purpose of blaming the LPR for the crime, he said.

"Details are being found out," the spokesman said.
