American embassy issues warning of impending “extremist” attack in Moscow

America embassy in Russia said that dangerous people have plans to attack Moscow soon. This comes after Russian security services stopped a planned shooting at a synagogue by a group linked to Islamic State in Afghanistan.

The embassy has asked the U.S several times to do something about the situation. The government has told its people in Russia to leave right away. However, the government failed to tell them why, but they warned to stay away from large gatherings and to be careful of their surroundings.

The Embassy is keeping an eye on reports that extremists have plans to attack big events in Moscow, like concerts and events involving the U.S The embassy’s website said that people should stay away from big crowds for the next two days.

It warned a few hours after Russia’s FSB said it stopped an attack on a synagogue in Moscow by a group from Islamic State.

It was not clear if the two statements were connected.

The United States joining the Britain, Canada, South Korea, and Latvia were advising their people not to go to Russia.

Many countries say it’s not safe to travel to Russia and tell their citizens to come back home. The United States of America and Russia has been given the highest warning level, which is the same as countries like Afghanistan, Syria, Yemen, South Sudan and Iran. It means “do not travel”.

The fighting in Ukraine has caused a major problem in Russia’s relationship with the West, the biggest since the Cuban Missile Crisis in 1962.

The Kremlin is blaming the relationship between Russia and the United States are not good right now because the United States is helping Ukraine with money, weapons, and intelligence in its fight against Russia.

The FSB found an Islamic State group in Russia’s Kaluga region. This group is part of ISIS-Khorasan, which wants to control many countries in the region and is based in Afghanistan.

The group showed up in eastern Afghanistan in late 2014 and became known for being very brutal.

The FSB said that the person was getting ready to shoot people at a synagogue.

Russian special forces fought back against the militants and eventually stopped them with return fire.

The FSB said they found and took away guns, bullets, and parts to make a homemade bomb.

Western countries now think that being a diplomat in Moscow is really hard.

The United States Department says that Moscow is a difficult place for diplomats, like U.S Reporters Freetown, Mogadishu, Damascus, and Kabul still in Moscow.

Western diplomats in Moscow say they are often spied on and bothered. They use a guide called “Moscow Rules” to help them stay safe, which was made by Western spies in the past and has been updated for today’s Russia.

Russia has been saying that its diplomats are often mistreated in big Western cities and its citizens are unfairly treated because of a strong dislike of Russia. They say this is the worst it has been in 100 years.
