Moscow attack, Islamists yes, Jihadists maybe not.

 MANY QUESTIONS ABOUT MOSCOW TERROR

RUSSIA WILL HAVE ANSWERS SOON

This weekend terror attack in Moscow may have been the worst, so far, in 2024. The result has been the death of 139 concert goers so far. There has already been lots of information revealed about this attack. 

It seems 2 of the suspects had been in Moscow for some time the other 2 have recently entered Russia via Turkey. So far 11 have been arrested in Russia, one yesterday for providing housing to the attackers.

It is reported that 40 of the victims died of gunshots, the others from the result of the fire and smoke. The shooters were in the building 11 minutes. They attempted to make their escape in the same car that they arrived in. Russian authorities were able to track the perpetrators and apprehended them just before they were to cross the border into Ukraine.

ISIS K a group that seems to be headquartered in the border area of Afghanistan and Pakistan claimed responsibility for the attack. A Jihadist attack is usually a suicide mission that continues until they are killed at the scene and often attempts to shoot as many as possible. It is usually connected to some goal or response to some action. At present Russia is not involved in any middle east actions. It would seem that there would be many other priorities other than Russia.

The U.S. issued a denial of responsibility and that of Ukraine in less than hour of the attack.

The U.S. had warned of such a possible attack early in March.

It seems the Russians have retrieved all the communications devices of these suspects. There are reported 40 arrests made in Turkey in connection with these suspects.

It has been reported that the suspects have claimed they were paid to carry out this attack. As to the source of the payments, that is as yet not revealed or known.

One could understand that Russia would be suspicions of any attacks placed on there territory in the present situation. The fact that they have the suspects alive and now many of the collaborators, it can be assumed that all the true facts will be revealed eventually.
