MOSCOW, MAY 10(AP/UNB) - Russia's secret service says it has foiled terror attack plans in the Black Sea resort of Sochi ahead of the 2014 Winter Games.

Russia's National Anti-Terrorist Committee said Thursday the Russian secret service FSB has discovered caches of ammunition with portable surface-to-air missiles, grenade launchers, flame throwers as well as grenades, rifles and explosives. The ammunition was found in Georgia's breakaway republic of Abkhazia, a region that has strong links with Russia.

The FSB said it suspects the attacks were being masterminded by Doku Umarov, a Chechen rebel leader.
