Chechnya's security forces have captured members of a terrorist group who had plotted an assassination attempt on Chechen President Ramzan Akhmadovich Kadyrov, media reports said. 20 young people were captured in a town located 10 kilometers from Grozny, Capital of Chechnya, for trying to kill President Kadyrov, the Arabic service of Russia Today TV reported on Tuesday.

President Kadyrov has reportedly pardoned the arrested individuals in a bid to "give them a chance to compensate for what they done". Ramzan Akhmadovich Kadyrov is the Head of the Chechen Republic and a former Chechen rebel. He is the son of former Chechen President Akhmad Kadyrov, who was assassinated in May 2004.
