The Lithuanian authorities managed to prevent a terrorist attack in Russia. Lithuanian citizen Egle Kusaite, alleged suicide bomber, was arrested in Lithuania on October 2009, on her attempt to board a plane bound for Russia.
During a hearing in the Court of Appeals on 4 May, Prosecutor Justas Laucius of the Prosecutor General’s Office revealed that Kusaite planned to act as a suicide bomber in a Russian military facility. According to the Prosecutor the aim of this act was to claim as many lives possible.
Laucius said to reporters after the hearing, “Kusaite did everything she could to carry out orders; that is to go to Russia and commit a suicide bombing in a military facility.”
According to the information from the hearing, Kusaite had links with Islamic fundamentalists from Russia, Azerbaijan, Uzbekistan and the UK. She had received funds and has learned how to prepare explosives and detonate then.
