A deputy imam of an Osh mosque was in charge of the terrorist group trained in the camps of transnational terrorist organizations in Syria and detained in southern Kyrgyzstan, the Osh police told Interfax on Wednesday.
The six detainees were planning terror attacks in Osh and Bishkek.
Detectives learned that the group leader was trained in a religious school in Syria and studied in the United Arab Emirates.

A similar terrorist group led by a local mosque imam, who had been trained in a foreign country, was neutralized in Osh in November 2010.
