Quick Glance: Russia's FSB Chief Accuses Ukraine, US, and UK of Moscow Attack
  • The director of Russia's most powerful security agency accused Ukraine, the United States, and the United Kingdom of being involved in the attack on a concert hall outside Moscow.

  • Ukraine, which has repeatedly denied any link to the attack, dismissed the Russian accusations as lies. The United States called them 'utter nonsense'. The Islamic State militant group, which once sought control over parts of Iraq and Syria, claimed responsibility for the massacre.

  • Bortnikov, 72, who has been head of the FSB since 2008, stated that Russia has not yet identified those who specifically ordered the deadliest attack inside Russia for two decades, but mentioned that retaliatory measures would be taken. He provided no specific evidence for the claims, which could be used by hardliners in Moscow to justify an escalation of the war in Ukraine.

  • The United States has intelligence confirming Islamic State's claim of responsibility for a deadly attack on a concert near Moscow, as stated by two US officials. President Putin vowed that all those responsible for the attack would face punishment.

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.
