After narrowly thwarting a civil war, Vladimir Putin escaped an attempted
assassination thanks to Russian secret service members, RadarOnline.com has
learned.

Since Putin ordered the unprovoked invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, the
Kremlin leader grew increasingly paranoid about being assassinated. The
70-year-old's greatest fear manifested into reality on Friday — and security
service guards were said to be responsible for saving the ruthless leader's
life.








According to the Kremlin's security agency, Federal Protection Service (FSO)
members thwarted a plan to kill Putin. The failed assassination attempt
allegedly centered on an unnamed bridge that Putin and his motorcade were
expected to travel over.

Telegram channel VChK-OGPU claimed a barge was used to plant explosives
underneath the bridge, presumably with the intention to cause great injury or
death.




"The FSO was checking information about the preparation of an assassination
attempt on Putin with the help of explosives at the bottom of the Moskva River,
laid down from a barge," read the Telegram channel's post.

"A duty officer of the Federal Security Service reported a suspicious barge
under the bridge."








When the "suspicious barge" was ordered to vacate the area, onlookers said
divers were seen entering the water as a precaution "due to the movement of
motorcades over the bridge." FSO was said to have checked the barge's papers,
which claimed the boat was making repairs on the bridge.

While the structure was not named by Russian officials, it was believed to be
located on the frequently traveled route from Putin's home outside of Moscow and
the Kremlin.








Further context on the detection of explosives, if any, as well as information
on suspected parties was not released.

Nonetheless, the FSO response to the incident was represented by the Kremlin as
a successful effort to stop the alleged attempt to "assassinate Putin."

Frontline failures in Ukraine humiliated Russia and empowered critics to speak
against Putin's leadership, an action many considered a death wish given the
history of anti-Putin advocates' mysterious and sudden deaths.

ATLANTA (AP) — Atlanta Police Department motorcycles were damaged in an
intentional fire caused by devices set inside a training facility early
Saturday, officials said.

The Atlanta Fire and Rescue Department responded to reports of a multi-vehicle
fire around 2:20 a.m. and found multiple motorcycles on fire, WANF-TV reported.

Firefighters at the scene found “incendiary devices” used to start the fire,
officials said.

The fire department was investigating but there was no immediate information
about any arrests or whether the fire was classified as arson, WANF reported.

The city’s fire and rescue department and police department did not immediately
respond to emails from The Associated Press seeking additional information.




Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp said in a written statement that the fire was an
“outrageous and completely inexcusable" planned destruction of property that put
lives and community assets in danger.



“Those are the tactics of organized criminals, not protestors, and their
supporters should ask themselves if they truly want to be associated with such
radical and violent people,” Kemp said. “Working with state, local, and federal
law enforcement partners, we will find these criminals and bring them to
justice.”

Kemp's statement posted on social media did not offer specifics about any groups
or individuals who might be the focus of an investigation.

The location of the fire Saturday on Southside Industrial Parkway was not the
same as the planned Atlanta Public Safety Training Center, WANF reported.

Opponents of the $90 million training center hope to force a referendum on the
building of the contested project, which they say will lead to greater police
militarization while its construction will exacerbate environmental damage in a
poor, majority-Black area.

Atlanta Mayor Andre Dickens and others say the center would replace inadequate
training facilities and help address difficulties in hiring and retaining
officers that worsened after nationwide protests against police brutality and
racial injustice three years ago.

More than 40 people have been charged with domestic terrorism in connection with
protests at the site, where authorities fatally shot an environmental activist
in January while clearing a camp being used by activists. The Georgia Bureau of
Investigation is investigating the case in which city officials say officers
fired in self-defense after the protester shot a trooper.
