Two Russians and a Kazakhstan national who were found near the fence of an Effingham County power plant are expected to leave the country soon, according to a spokesman for the FBI.

 

The three men — Evgeniy Luzhetskiy, Nail Idiatullin and Rustem Ibragimov — were found near the fence of Plant McIntosh with wire cutters, a shovel and ski masks around 1 a.m. on Sept. 12. Effingham County Sheriff’s deputies had been called out on a report of three suspicious individuals in a Nissan Pathfinder.

 

Deputies notified the Joint Terrorism Task Force, and JTTF agents interviewed the suspects.
