<p>The FSB said it arrested four people suspected of plotting a series of attacks, two of whom were supposed to blow themselves up on Moscow&#8217;s transit system and in a shop.</p>
<p>The FSB said it discovered a lab outside Moscow where improvised explosive devices were made.</p>
<p>The intelligence agency said the attacks were directed by two senior militants who fight on the side of IS in Syria and hail from the former Soviet Union.</p>
<p>The suspects arrested outside Moscow were not identified, but the FSB said one of them is a Russian national and three others are from Central Asia.</p>
<p><amp-youtube layout="responsive" width="696" height="392" data-videoid="0AlP6EWY3LU" title="Russia: FSB arrests four IS suspects in plotting attacks in Moscow"><a placeholder href="https://youtu.be/0AlP6EWY3LU"><img src="https://i.ytimg.com/vi/0AlP6EWY3LU/hqdefault.jpg" layout="fill" object-fit="cover" alt="Russia: FSB arrests four IS suspects in plotting attacks in Moscow"></a></amp-youtube></p>
<p>The agency released a video which shows operatives inspecting a house used by the group to make explosives, while two suspects lie down on the floor in handcuffs.</p>
<p>It did not say when the arrests took place.</p>
<p>In May, the FSB arrested another group of suspected IS members who were also accused of plotting terror attacks in the capital.</p>
<p>The arrests follow a suicide bombing in St Petersburg&#8217;s subway that left 16 dead and more than 50 wounded in April.</p>
<p>President Vladimir Putin said in April that some 9,000 militants, about half of them from Russia and the rest from ex-Soviet Central Asian nations, have joined IS in Syria.</p>
<p>He emphasised that a key goal for the Russian military operation in Syria is to crush them there and prevent them from coming back home.</p>
