Russia detains suspects in an attack that left at least 115 dead in a Moscow concert hall
ABC News ^ | March 23, 2024

Posted on 03/23/2024 5:06:09 AM PDT by McGruff

Russian authorities detained 11 people, state media reported Saturday, after gunmen stormed a concert hall in Moscow in a grisly attack that left at least 115 people dead.

Russia's Investigative Committee said four of those detained were directly involved in the attack that left the sprawling shopping mall and music venue smoldering with a collapsed roof.

Russian agencies appeared to suggest the attack was linked to Ukraine even though the Islamic State group claimed responsibility in a statement. A U.S. intelligence official told The Associated Press that U.S. agencies had confirmed that that group was responsible for the attack.

The four suspects were stopped in the Bryansk region of western Russia, “not far from the border with Ukraine,”

If you recall, Russia had just shut of the gas - unilaterally and arbitrarily - 1 month earlier, so Russia was legally liable for billions in damages for non-performance in valid delivery contracts

But, with the pipeline destroyed, Russia had a legal excuse not to deliver, saving billions

yes, cui bono

You are a simple minded fool, a blind one at that. This is the work of people like you zeepers and your Ukrainian friends. There will be a price for this, and you are not going to like it. And yes, I support Russia over Ukraine, nato and the biden administration.

Excuses? Russia was ALREADY going full mobilization, after the attacks on refineries. If Putin were the dictator that MSLSD purports, he would not need a justification. War in Ukraine is not a benefit to Putin, this war was FORCED by decades of NATO expansion, violating agreements made to end the Cold War. Under your scenario, the Peace deal negotiated in 2022 would have been accepted by Ukraine, not rejected by the US and Britain. How many have died since then? Ukraine has no manpower reserves left. Unless you are counting on France. Who benefits from forever war, with no winners, only meatgrinder turmoil? Daddy Warbucks.

Jo, I suggest you go back and retake grades 1-12 and pay particular attention in history and civics class. If you fail to make an A, then retake it again and again until you do.

Then read all Cold War headline articles since roughly the end of WWII.

Then, if you still love Russia that means you are not an American Patriot and thus you should do us all a favor and move to Russia. A plus for you is that Putin could use you on his front line. Since you hate Ukraine you will think you died and went to heaven.

If you need air fare to Moscow, some of us will pitch in.

What did we learn from Putin’s speech?

In a televised address to the nation, Putin thanked the doctors and security officers who helped the victims of the Moscow attack. Here is what the Russian president said:

Putin said all four gunmen responsible for the Moscow concert hall shooting, in which at least 115 people were killed, have been detained

He said the attackers had tried to escape towards Ukraine

Putin said preliminary information showed some people on the Ukrainian side had prepared to let them cross the border from Russia - Kyiv earlier said claims of Ukrainian involvement were “absurd”

Putin announced a day of mourning for 24 March and said dozens of peaceful, innocent people were victims of the Crocus attack

Putin said all who prepared the attack would be identified and punished

The Russian president said the attack was a “barbaric terrorist act” and that the attackers “would not divide us”

LOL, sure Putin's NOT a dictator just someone who has ruled Russia for almost 24 years while ALL his serious opponents have been either arrested or died. That's true democracy in action.

You are not the arbitrator of who is and who isn't an American Patriot. I personally feel you are a biden loving, America hating POS. But that's just my opinion. Although I'm usually about 99.9% right when I use the POS label.

It’s not remotely the Uke style. They’ve been very strategic in their attacks.

This is just Muslims Musliming.

You’ve got me confused with someone else. I am not a “zeeper”, whatever that is.

Or you are a troll, which seem to predominate on all threads (on both sides) regarding the topic of Russia/ukraine.

If you are a Uke trying to make Russians look stupid, you’re doing a good job.

If you are a Russian trying to gin up support for Putin, you need to ease up on the hyperbole and moderate yourself to be more persuasive.

If you are anyone else, you’re an idiot.

Easy for us to say now. What will we say when Trump is assassinated?
