In addition to Levan Mamporia, detained for abuse of power and Irakli B., detained for covering up criminal information, five people are detained in connection with preparation of a terrorist attack: Beka B., Vladimir R., Midia V., Jaba M. and Nuri Ch.

On August 20, members of the group went to a forested up to Zhinvali-Shatili road to take explosives and weaponry. There they took 4 units of 200 gr. TNT, 2 types of match cord, 5 units of capsule detonators and other explosives. At that moment they were detained. Machine guns and ammo was also found on the place. At home of one of the suspects a computer was found with a map on which places of planned explosions were marked.
