The organization, CSTO, is a Russian-led security alliance that includes Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, and Tajikistan
“Radicals from Central Asia have accounted for a notable share of recent Islamic State-inspired or -directed plots and attacks in the United States, Europe, Turkey, and Iran,” Lucas Webber and Riccardo Valle wrote in a Hudson Institute analysis last year.
In September 2022, ISKP – which vehemently opposes Russia’s support for the regime of Bashar al-Assad in Syria – claimed responsibility for a suicide bombing at the Russian embassy in Kabul which left six dead.
Despite repeatedly warnings from foreign sources – including the U.S. – that an attack was imminent, survivors have apparently reported that the guards did not check bags and clothes before entering the arena, metal detectors were turned off, and automatic fire extinguishers failed to function.

Human-like vermin.
No kid gloves for these young lads, unlike in our system. :)
According to earlier reports the guy in the middle had his ear cut off and then force to eat it.
Four gunmen of eleven conspirators arrested. The mercenary terrorists claim they were recruited and paid for their act. They were given documents and directed to an arms cache. We’ve gotten no information on the other seven conspirators arrested. The individuals, perhaps those seven, who were responsible for planning and coordinating the attack on the ground in Russia will be the link to who was ultimately responsible for the attack.
President Retard wants to send “aid” to the terrorists
It was sickening to watch the videos of this horrendous terrorist attack. I’m sure Russia will execute these psychopaths once they are found guilty.
It won’t take them 30 years, either - all while wailing Lefties cry about “the unfair death penalty”.
Don’t worry. Although the hired guns had Tadjik passports and may have been actual Tadjiks, they were hired by CIA/Ukraine to hurt Russia. Russia must know this.
They are going to wish they died.
The text at that Twitter page:
The ISIS-affiliated channels have published a photo allegedly showing the attackers at Crocus City Hall.
The color and cut of the clothes of the men in the photo resemble the attire of the suspected organizers of the attack.
The New York Times previously reported that ISIS-Khorasan claimed responsibility for the terrorist attack at Crocus City Hall. This group emerged in eastern Afghanistan in late 2014.
It's worth noting that the Islamic State has a history of claiming responsibility for attacks it did not orchestrate. We cannot confirm the authenticity of the photo.

Group That Claimed Responsibility for the Moscow Attack - New York Times, March 22, 2024
The group that claimed credit for the deadly terrorist attack in Moscow on Friday is the Islamic State affiliate in Afghanistan called Islamic State Khorasan Province, or ISIS-K.
ISIS-K was founded in 2015 by disaffected members of the Pakistani Taliban, who then embraced a more violent version of Islam. The group saw its ranks cut roughly in half, to about 1,500 to 2,000 fighters, by 2021 from a combination of American airstrikes and Afghan commando raids that killed many of its leaders.
ISIS-K carried out a suicide bombing at the international airport in Kabul in August 2021 that killed 13 U.S. troops and as many as 170 civilians.

Extremely skeptical. 9/11 hijackers were all clean-shaven. These men are not. Typical terrorist has some college, is fairly attuned to what’s required to stay on the down low. Being clean-shaven is one of the simplest things they can do.
The fact that the perps got away and the Russians arrested the usual suspects suggests the possibility that this was an inside job meant to goose domestic support for the war. Different matter if they had been killed in situ. The one-hour emergency servicea response time just screams pre-arrangement meant to give the perps time to get away.
A police station was less than 2 miles away and an OMON base 8 minutes drive away and still it took an hour for someone to arrive.
Could be typical Russian incompetence, but that’s stretching it.
I really don’t know who to believe anymore, certainly not our side.
Maybe they all got drunk. Don't forget Boris Yeltsin.
Muslims are permitted by the Koran to lie to infidels and idolators (Jews and Christians) and this is not considered sinful.
So why believe the things they say?
