Video:Confessions of a Mossad agent:Our final goal was to go to Moscow and attempt to assassinate Putin
Ukrainian and Russian security services have gathered information about a plot to assassinate Putin, who is due to be elected president on 4 March 2012. The assassins were detained in the Ukrainian port city of Odessa in early January 2012, after they survived an explosion in a rented apartment. The gang have confessed they were planning to assassinate Putin in Moscow, soon after the March 4 presidential elections.
One of the assassins, Ilya Pyanzin, said that the Chechen militant leader Doku Umarov hired him to kill Putin.
The Chechen militants are said to be linked to the CIA, Mossad and NATO.
Pyanzin came from the United Arab Emirates via Turkey to Ukraine.
