Five individuals planning an assassination attempt on the leadership of Kyrgyzstan have been apprehended in the country.

 

According to the State Committee for National Security of Kyrgyzstan, operational measures aimed at detecting and preventing illegal activities of organized criminal groups, including foreign citizens and individuals wanted internationally, were undertaken.

 

As a result, five individuals affiliated with a transnational criminal organization came under the scrutiny of national security agencies and were subsequently apprehended on March 22, 2024.
