Militant from Syria detained in Kyrgyzstan

The State Committee for National Security of Kyrgyzstan detained a wanted militant of an international terrorist organization. Press center of the committee reported.

During the ongoing counter-terrorism measures, a citizen, who was on the international wanted list for mercenary activities, was detained.
