HORRIFIC Terrorist Attack In Moscow Leaves 40 Dead, 100 Injured [WARNING: EXTREMELY GRAPHIC FOOTAGE]
The Daily Mail gave an update on the latest developments:
Russian law enforcement have reportedly made arrests for suspects in the Crocus concert hall massacre in Moscow.
They also revealed pictures and names of four suspects as the death toll rose to 115 people, including three children, and 115 people remained in hospital.
The condition of 44 survivors – including two children – is described as ‘serious’, while that of 16 other victims, including one child, is ‘extremely serious’.
The Islamic State group claimed responsibility for the attack, which was the deadliest in Russia in years and left the 6,000 capacity concert hall in Krasnogorsk, outside Moscow, in flames with a collapsing roof.
Eleven people have been detained following the horrific massacre, the head of Russia’s Federal Security Service told President Vladimir Putin on Saturday, according to Russian state news agency Tass.
It comes after a white Renault with Tver region license plates with the alleged terrorists was stopped near the village of Teply, close to the borders with Belarus and Ukraine, according to Baza media.
According to preliminary data, there were six people in the car, and two were detained. Four more managed to escape.
Baza – with close law enforcement contacts – showed images of four suspects, all from ex-Soviet republic Tajikistan, which borders Afghanistan.
They were Makhmadrasul Nasridinov, 37, Rivozhidin Ismonov, 51, Shohinjonn Safolzoda, 21 and Rustam Nazarov, 29.
It is unclear which of these four have been detained.
Russian FSB security service officers were ‘working with’ the suspects who were detained. ‘They are being checked for involvement in the terrorist attack,’ reported Baza.
ADVERTISEMENTTelegram channel VChK-OGPU said earlier that one detainee from Tajikistan had named three others who he was with in a car.
‘These are also natives of Tajikistan. They managed to hide in the forest.
‘Now that it is light, an active search is underway for them. However, there is no confirmation yet that these people were the terrorists who attacked Crocus.’
Macabre footage emerged of piles of bodies outside the concert venue. Hundreds of investigators and rescuers were still combing the smouldering scene early today.
Fox News also reported:
The death toll in Friday’s terror attack on a concert in Moscow has soared to at least 133, Russia’s top state investigative agency said Saturday, with authorities saying they have apprehended 11 suspects, four of whom were reported to be directly involved in the onslaught.
President Vladimir Putin addressed the shocked nation in a televised broadcast on Saturday, slamming the massacre as “a bloody, barbaric terrorist act.” He declared Sun., March 24, a day of mourning.
Putin said that additional security measures have been put in place throughout the country following the attack – the deadliest in over 20 years.
“All four direct perpetrators of the terrorist attack, all those who shot and killed people, were found and detained,” Putin said. “They tried to hide and moved towards Ukraine, where, according to preliminary data, a window was prepared for them from the Ukrainian side to cross the state border.”
What do you think?
Was it ISIS really responsible for the terrorist attack?
Or is something more foul at play?
