MOSCOW (Sputnik) - Russian President Vladimir Putin said on Monday that the terrorist attack at the Crocus City Hall concert venue near Moscow had been committed by radical Islamists.
"We know that the crime was committed by the hands of radical Islamists, whose ideology the Islamic world itself has been fighting for centuries," Putin said.
Even though Russia knows who carried out the terrorist attack in the Crocus concert hall, but the mastermind behind it is still in question, and we need to find out whether radical Islamists really decided to strike at the country, the Russian president said.
"In the course of the joint work of our special services and law enforcement agencies, it is necessary to get answers to a number of questions, for example, whether radical, even terrorist-minded Islamic organizations are really interested in striking at Russia, which today stands for a just solution to the escalated Middle East conflict," Putin said at a consultation with Russian authorities on measures taken after the terrorist attack.
The president highlighted that the important thing is to find the mastermind behind the March 22 terrorist attack.
"The horrific crime committed on March 22 in the capital of Russia is an act of intimidation ... and the question immediately arises: who benefits?" Putin said. "This atrocity can only be an element in a whole series of attempts by those who have been fighting our country since 2014 with the hands of the neo-Nazi Kiev regime."
Those who attacked the Crocus City Hall concert venue had tried to escape to Ukraine, where, according to preliminary data, a "window" was prepared for them to cross the border, Putin previously said. All five who were directly involved in the shooting were arrested.
"Of course, we also need to answer the question of why......

The overarching objective is the removal of Putin by destabilizing Russia through civil unrest. Ukraine (and the US) want anarchy in Russia. An anti-Muslim backlash could do that.
Any distaste for civilian targeting is confined to overt operations since the optics aren't good. Covert targeting (as here), is a different story since there's plausible deniability.
..... look closely, you’ll see all the attacks are on military or industrial assets
Lies. The drone attacks on Belgorod were directed at civilian targets.
Unlike RUSSIA, which send waves of kinetic missiles against Ukrainian apartment buildings, schools, shopping malls, and playgrounds
More lies. Russia's missile strikes target power generating facilities and military targets.
“We know that the crime was committed by the hands of radical Islamists, whose ideology the Islamic world itself has been fighting for centuries,” Putin said.
Vlad’s one of those “it’s not real Islam” guys.
Not like his friends in Iran, or in Hamas, or Syria etc…
NATO and CIA. THEY ARE ITCHING FOR A WORLD WAR.
You’re scary.
Tadzhiks, actually.
Did you see this? Another nail, in my opinion.
MOSCOW, March 25. /TASS/. The United States’ statement on the refusal to help Russia after the terrorist attack in Crocus City Hall is immoral, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova has said on her Telegram channel.
Earlier, the National Security Council coordinator for strategic communications, John Kirby, said the US would not cooperate with Russia in the security sphere.
“Challengingly immoral behavior has become a new normal in liberal democracies,” Zakharova said.
In contrast, Macron just offered France’s help to Russia in anti-terrorist cooperation.
just saw this,
“ISIS threatens Russia and Putin personally with new terrorist attacks.
One of the ISIS units in Khorasan province published a poster on which the terrorists promise to take revenge on the Russians for the abuse of the detained militants of the organization.”

ZEEPER FOLLIES PINGLIST!
(((PING!)))
... to be added to the best Zeeper-provided entertainment since Paul Shanklin parodies, ping me bro.
I heard they were from Tajekistan.
Your sources are not trustworthy. Why can’t you see they are RAT sources?
Yup. CIA and NATO
I’d like to know what Obama was really doing in Belgium and London before the Russian concert attack.
Lolol!!!
Look who leaped on, to push the lame ISIS meme, oh, so quick.
Give it a rest. 😂😂
“The surest way to work up a crusade in favor of some cause is to promise people they will have a chance at maltreating someone else. “
Something to keep in mind when we see the hatred against Russians on the board.
I am no supporter of continued war in Ukraine.
You characterize Canuck Conservative’s post as “cheering on the slaughter of innocent children,” when it does no such thing.
You also characterize the post as “pushing forward another conspiracy.” If what you are referring to is the claim that ISIS actors committed the murders, that is quite clearly true, and not a conspiracy.
You appear unhinged.
Let’s be honest, nothing is ever good enough for you Ukraine-haters!
You’re as obsessed - and deluded - as the Get-Trump haters who couldn’t accept Mueller finding Trump innocent
“I don’t care what Mueller said, I KNOW Trump colluded with Russia!”
LOL
Show me the evidence.
