Russia’s Federal Security Service says it detained a teenage Russian citizen over an alleged plan to carry out a mass-casualty attack at Moscow’s Tsaritsyno Museum Reserve. The agency said a tip from US law-enforcement authorities helped identify the suspect after he allegedly posted images in tactical clothing and photos from the museum online. Investigators said airsoft weapons were recovered from his home. The case follows a US Embassy security alert about a credible threat to the museum. Russian authorities said planned events at the venue were cancelled and security was tightened.
