Just not to call

The press services of law enforcement agencies refuse to comment on mass evacuation that pass throughout Russia due to the calls of "telephone terrorists". This was reported by "Vedomosti".

According to one of the press services, comments banned the FSB, "" in order not to escalate panic and not to provoke others who want to engage in telephone terrorism. "

In addition to police officers, the search for "telephone terrorists" is conducted by operatives of regional UFSB, as well as specialists of the central apparatus of special services in combating terrorism, counteracting cybercrime and protecting the constitutional system, Kommersant reports .

Several people are detained. However, they turned out to be imitators who reported mining, learning about the mass telephone attack in the media and social networks. Unlike the organizers of the action, they used ordinary phones, not IP-telephony. In particular, on Wednesday in Volokolamsk near Moscow, a 17-year-old local resident was detained, who "mined" the Sports Palace on the phone. A criminal case has been instituted against him under Article 207 of the Criminal Code (knowingly false message about the act of terrorism).

The Kremlin does not intend to intervene in the work of the special services related to the clarification of the circumstances of the wave of anonymous calls about explosive devices, the presidential spokesman Dmitry Peskov said the day before. Journalists drew his attention to the fact that none of the departments made an official statement, and asked if the Kremlin intended to intervene in this situation.

"No, the Kremlin will not affect this. As soon as the results are relevant, the population will notify the population about this. But this work is not easy, it requires patience. As soon as the results are, they will become known about them," Peskov said.

Since September 11, in different cities throughout Russia, after the calls of the "telephone terrorists" , mass evacuation of administrative buildings, shopping centers and educational institutions have been held . According to Interfax, over 100 thousand people, including from Red Square, were evacuated in Moscow alone over the past day. The estimated damage can amount to about a billion rubles.

Most calls about allegedly laid bombs come from the territory of Ukraine, interfax sources report. RIA Novosti sources, in turn, said that the Islamic State is behind calls.
