I rather suspect it really was ISIS-K, and Russia is spinning it to find an angle that applies to the current conflict. Russia (and previously the Soviet Union) have always been masters of realpolitik.

Makes sense. Putin is using this massacre to blame Ukraine.

I'm waiting for Russia to nuke Moscow then blame the U.S.

You betcha!

Didn’t Dubya use 9/11 to blame Saddam?
