                  Russia Foils Plot to Attack Winter Olympics

   by VOA News

   Russia says its security service has foiled a plot by militants to
   stage an attack during the 2014 Winter Olympic games in the Black Sea
   resort city of Sochi.
   Russia's National Anti-Terror Committee said Thursday that Federal
   Security Service agents uncovered a cache of portable surface-to-air
   missiles, grenade launchers and explosives during recent raids in
   Georgia's breakaway region of Abkhazia.
   It suspects Chechen rebel leader Doku Umarov of masterminding the
   attack.
   Umarov is Russia's most wanted Islamist rebel. He has claimed
   responsibility for a series of bomb attacks in Moscow and the Caucasus
   region that has left more than 100 people dead.

   Some information for this report was provided by AP, AFP and Reuters.
