"Heads of international terrorist organizations are intensifying their attempts to put their plans on perpetrating terror attacks on the territory of the Russian Federation into practice," Kulyagin said at a briefing.

More than 140 terrorists, including 24 ringleaders, were killed in Russia in 2016, while over 900 militants were detained, Igor Kulyagin, first deputy head of Russia's National Anti-Terrorism Committee (NAC) Central Office, said Tuesday.
