(in an apparent oversight, the fsb fails to collect the detonator, which is photographed by the local police.) the following morning, september 23, the government announces that a terrorist attack has been averted. they praise the vigilance of the local people and the ryazan police. police comb the city and find the suspects<u+0092> car. a telephone operator for long-distance calls reports that she overheard a suspicious conversation: the caller said there were too many police to leave town undetected and was told, <u+0093>split up and each of you make your own way out.<u+0094> to the police<u+0092>s astonishment, the number called belongs to the fsb. later this day, the massive manhunt succeeds: the suspects are arrested. but the police are again stunned when the suspects present fsb credentials. on moscow<u+0092>s orders, they are quietly released. on september 24, the government reverses itself and now says the bomb was a dummy and the whole operation an exercise to test local vigilance. the official announcement is met with disbelief and anger. ryazan residents, thousands of whom have had to spend the previous night outdoors, are outraged; local authorities protest that they were not informed. however, the suspicion of a government provocation is not widely expressed and press coverage fades after a few days. it is only several months later that an investigation by the independent weekly novaya gazeta re-ignites the controversy (see february 20, 2000 and fall 1999). the government<u+0092>s explanations will fail to convince skeptics (see march 23, 2000). the ryazan incident later becomes the main reason for suspecting the government of having orchestrated previous bombings. the controversy is then widely reported in the international press.

[source: terror99.ru]a team of fsb officials, led by alexander zdanovich, agrees to a televised meeting with angry and suspicious residents of ryazan, hoping to put down rumors of a government provocation and shore up the credibility of the official account. in september 1999 a bomb was found in the basement of a building in ryazan and the people arrested for planting the bomb were discovered to be fsb agents. the government then claimed the incident was merely a training exercise, but residents suspect the fsb wanted to bomb the building to create a fake terrorist incident (see september 22-24, 1999). zdavonich apologizes for the inconvenience suffered by ryazan inhabitants but then suggests the renewed interest in the event is a campaign ploy: <u+0093>for months, there was no interest and there were no publications. the theme was activated on the eve of the presidential election with the most fantastic details in order to accuse the fsb of planning a real explosion with the death of people. this is actively used in the political struggle.<u+0094> (the presidential election is only one week away.) a soldier named alexei pinyaev has claimed that he worked at a nearby base where hexogen was reportedly kept in sacks marked <u+0093>sugar<u+0094> (see fall 1999). the commander of the base denies that there was any soldier named pinyaev, but the novaya gazeta reporter who had found pinyaev then shows pictures of him and plays a recording of his interview. the fsb will not let its three agents appear in public or allow journalists to interview them. the broadcast does not allow any discussion of a possible connection between the ryazan incident and the apartment bombings in moscow earlier that month (see september 9, 1999 and september 13, 1999). the fsb officials did not have good explanations for the fact that local authorities, including its own fsb office in ryazan, were not informed of the supposed exercise, or for the lack of medical resources for the thousands of people forced to spend the night outdoors. according to david satter, a long-time correspondent in moscow for the wall street journal and the new york times who believes the ryazan incident was a failed provocation, the broadcast only serves to increase the public<u+0092>s misgivings.
