Russia’s Putin says ‘radical Islamists’ behind Moscow concert hall 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.

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.

  • Four armed men walked calmly towards metal detectors at Crocus City Hall, firing automatic weapons at terrified civilians who fell screaming in a hail of bullets.

  • Gunfire erupted as people were taking their seats, quickly engulfing the entire building in flames. Hundreds of firefighters battled for hours to contain the blaze that devastated the entire hall.

  • Victims included whole families, mothers embracing their children, and individuals desperately trying to flee the flames as the building turned into a hellish scene.

  • During a meeting of the Supreme State Council of the Russia-Belarus Union State in Saint Petersburg, Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko inspected a tank battalion near the Lithuanian border and directed that any 'provocation' there must be met with force, as reported by a Telegram channel close to his administration on Tuesday.

  • Emphasizing the need to 'publicly stop any provocation', Lukashenko highlighted that 'any violation of the state border must be decisively countered'.

  • The deteriorating relations between Lithuania, a member of the European Union and NATO, and Minsk have been attributed to Lithuania's support for the opposition in Belarus.
