Russia has strengthened its borders with Georgia amid concerns that an armed squad might be sent from Georgian territory to commit terror acts in Russia.
“According to information we have received, militants might be sent to Dagestan from Georgia to carry out terror acts at fuel and energy facilities and railways ahead of the New Year holidays,” Russia’s Federal Security Service (FSB) department in Dagestan said.
The FSB informed that it has toughened security measures at the Dagestani section of the Russian-Georgian border.
“The entire set of measures necessary in such cases has been taken. The border guards have been put on alert, and operations with agents have been intensified.”
Tbilisi has officially denied the allegations:
“This is an absolutely absurd accusation aimed at slinging mud at Georgia on the international arena. The authors of this absurdity could have as well announced Georgia's preparations for attacking Moscow,” deputy chairman of the Georgian parliament Paata Davitaya told journalists on Wednesday.

The fact remains that ever since the Georgian adventure into South Ossetia, the frequency of terrorist attacks in Caucases has increased. Georgia has always been the transfer point of militants into Russia, but it seems that the funding, arms supply and ambitions have been on the increase. Part of package of aid to Georgia, no doubt.
' Agree with the FSB Georgia will try to destabilize Russia by committing this kind of acts just take a look what happened with the Neviski train so is in the hands of the FSB to control the situation and pint-point this terrorist and taken down in any way possible better if you catch them alive so the FSB can interrogate them and see who is sending them to committee this acts of terrorism. Good look to the FSB
