Moscow: Russia's FSB security force said Wednesday it had killed two men from Central Asia suspected of preparing to commit attacks during an arrest operation in the Vladimir region east of Moscow.

"As a result of clashes during attempted detention, two citizens of a Central Asian state were neutralised by FSB officers," the agency said in a statement quoted by Interfax news agency, adding that the men "were in contact with recruiters from an international terrorist organisation."
