ISIL’s Afghan branch – also known as the Islamic State in Khorasan Province, ISKP (ISIS-K) – has claimed responsibility for the attack...
“Russian foreign policy has been one big red flag for ISIS [ISIL],” Michael Kugelman, director of the South Asia Institute at the Washington-based Wilson Center told Al Jazeera. “The Soviet invasion of Afghanistan, Russian actions in Chechnya, Moscow’s close relationships with the Syrian and Iranian governments, and especially the military campaigns that Russia has waged against ISIS fighters in Syria and — through Wagner Group mercenaries – in parts of Africa.”
“ISK [ISKP] has consistently demonstrated its ambition to evolve into a formidable regional entity … By directing its aggression towards nations such as Iran and Russia, ISK not only confronts regional heavyweights but also underscores its political relevance and operational reach on the global stage,” Jadoon said.
Kabir Taneja, a fellow at the Strategic Studies Programme of the Observer Research Foundation – a think tank based in New Delhi, India – told Al Jazeera that Russia is seen by ISIL and its affiliates as “a crusading power against Muslims”...
“The most compelling current motivation for ISIS-K to attack Russia is the Taliban factor. The Taliban is a bitter rival of ISIS, and ISIS views Russia as a friend of the Taliban,” said Kugelman...
More attacks are possible in Russia and elsewhere, he added, given the key role that ISIL recruits of Central Asian origin – particularly Tajiks – played when the group held territory in Syria. They have now returned to the Central Asia region and their intent to carry out attacks has now materialised in capability, Basit said...

RE: They say this was done by Isik.
Isik Asimov who wrote I,Robot and the Foundation books?
The Russians have the advantage now. So why would they settle for a ceasefire?
Proof? A memo from the CIA HQ, and recordings of the face to face with the camel jockey they paid to locate the shooters and serial numbers of the bills of course of course.
Proof? What kind of stupid question is that?
What “proof” do you have it was ISIS and Ukraine wasn’t involved? None, that’s what. You just hear what DC and the mainsteam media says and call it “proof”.

Just a little tighter, more and more pressure until you agree to whatever I say or who knows if you’ll ever eat Cream of Rice for dinner again.
If they wanted to stop the killing they would.
Since Ukraine is not in NATO and the US is not in any war or skirmish with Russia, it is only breathtaking that somehow, you think Ukraine is in NATO and the US is at war with Russia.
People as crazy as you used to be ZOTTED.
Its pronounced ISIS.
Next you’ll be saying Hamas and Iran stand in the way of the the supposed nwo. And of course NWO is just code for you Jew haters
Why? Perhaps someone is paying them to?
With terror groups, always look to where they get their funding.
Oh, for an Internet equivalent of aerosol Thorazine to calm them down and bring them back to reality.
That’s because it wasn’t ISIS. It was Ukraine. Don’t buy into the U.S. lie.
Fascinating and novel theory. When did you come up with it? Have you written a book on it?
It is a blatant CIA job.
“big red flag” wow “ISIS” is using American left wing terminology..what are the odds
The Muscovites are trying to reconquer the Russian empire. Some people don’t want to be reconquered.
And your point is that Russia is allowed to attack Ukraine, but Ukraine is not allowed to attack Russia?
Stir the pot.
ISIS satisfied by non-muslims’ struggles.
The official ISIS outlet Al-Amaq releases the video recorded by the terrorists from the Moscow attack
It shows the slowly walking out of the place after killing 140+ people
In the video, 1 of them shouts Allahu Akbar & that they have punished the “kuffars” (infidels)
Terrorists Yelling Allahu Akbar & that they have punished the “kuffars”
Funny how Muslims only do terrorist attacks and have the resources to do so when the CIA and other western intelligence agencies gain from it
IS or ISIS or ISIL is a tool of CIA and Mosad. When IS fighters are wounded they sre taken to Israeli hospitals. So the Russian theater action has CIA fingerprints all over it (remnants of Victoria Nuland’s unsymetric warfare tactics.
