The detained, all natives of Dagestan, were held in Moscow and the republic's capital of Makhachkala on Friday and Saturday, local media reported citing a statement issued by the National Anti-terrorism Committee (NAC) on Saturday, Xinhua reports.
The four suspects confessed that they had contacts with the IS emissaries and plotted terrorist attacks with home-made bombs and cold weapons in crowded places, according to the statement.
Dagestan is a hotbed of insurgency in North Caucasus close to the conflict-ridden Middle East. Repeated violent attacks have plagued the region for years.
