Why ISIS-K Hates Putin—and Went After Moscow
Quick Glance: The remarkable evolution of ISIS-K's leader into a formidable group
  • Sanaullah Ghafari, in his role as the leader of the Afghan branch of Islamic State, played a significant role in the transformation into an extremely menacing branch of the global Islamist network, capable of conducting operations far from their bases in the border regions of Afghanistan.

  • The Islamic State claimed responsibility for the massacre at a concert hall near Moscow that resulted in the deaths of at least 137 people. U.S. officials indicated that the Afghan branch, Islamic State Khorasan (ISIS-K), was responsible.

  • Ghafari has enhanced the group's strength through his firm ideology and notable attacks. He has made repeated attempts to target Russia in response to its involvement in the Syrian civil war, which contributed to defeating ISIS' regional operations.

  • By using high-profile attacks as a tool for recruitment, the group has focused on ethnic Tajiks and Uzbeks in Central Asia. ISIS-K is planning to escalate its foreign operations, including attacks against the United States.

Putin Says 'Radical Islamists' Behind Moscow Concert Attack
Quick Glance: Putin Blames Radical Islamists for Moscow Concert Hall Attack
  • Russian President Vladimir Putin states for the first time that 'radical Islamists' were behind the attack on a concert hall outside Moscow, suggesting Ukraine was also somehow involved.

  • During Friday's attack, camouflaged gunmen stormed into Crocus City Hall, opened fire on concert-goers, and set the building ablaze, resulting in at least 137 deaths.

  • Putin did not mention the ISIL (ISIS) affiliate that claimed responsibility for the attack. The Islamic State in Khorasan Province has repeatedly claimed responsibility since Friday, with affiliated media channels releasing graphic videos of the attackers.

  • Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov declined to assign blame and refused to comment on reports that the US warned Moscow authorities on March 7 about a possible attack, citing confidentiality of such intelligence.

France raises terror alert level after Moscow attack claimed by IS group
Quick Glance: France Increases Terror Alert After Deadly Attack in Russia
  • France's government increased its security alert posture to the highest level on Sunday after the deadly attack at a Russian concert hall and Islamic State's claim of responsibility.

  • President Emmanuel Macron held an emergency security meeting after Friday's attack in a Moscow suburb killed over 130 people and was claimed by an Islamic State affiliate.

  • France was already on high security alert ahead of the Paris Olympics and Paralympics this year, expected to draw millions of visitors. Security concerns are notably high for the opening ceremony on July 26, with boats on the Seine River and large crowds watching from the embankments.

  • The country has been previously targeted by deadly Islamic State attacks, such as the Bataclan theatre massacre in 2015 where extremists shot concertgoers and held hostages for hours. French forces have also taken action against extremists in other regions.
