In the face of rampant skepticism, ISIS has now provided photographic evidence it was behind the massacre at a Moscow concert hall.
The attack occurred on Friday evening, with gunmen entering the Crocus City Hall with AK-style weapons and explosives. Terrifying videos of the ordeal were made public showing people being gunned down in cold blood as others hid behind barriers. Russian FSB forces eventually arrived with the building already in flames.

Within hours ISIS put out a statement of responsibility through its propaganda outlet, Amaq News Agency. That didn't stop speculation from running wild that it was Ukraine, the CIA, Israel, or some combination of the three behind the attack.
Apparently, ISIS wasn't a fan of people stealing credit and responded again on Saturday.
ISIS has now released an additional Statement in which they claim Responsibility for the Terrorist Attack last night against the Crocus Concert Hall in the Russian Capital of Moscow; while also Posting a Picture of the Attackers only minutes before the Shooting began, in which… pic.twitter.com/zmsH9degmD— OSINTdefender (@sentdefender) March 23, 2024
If ISIS was not behind the attack, it wouldn't have access to the above photograph, and the details do match up with the pictures of the attackers found at the concert hall. The idea that this was a secret CIA plot carried out in conjunction with the Ukrainians, as Vladimir Putin suggested in his recent remarks, just doesn't make any sense, and it's now flying in the face of hard evidence.
READ: Despite ISIS Claim of Responsibility, Russia Blames Ukraine for Concert Hall Attack
As I wrote in my original write-up on the Moscow terrorist attack, Occam's razor says ISIS is telling the truth here. They've been carrying out mass casualty attacks for months against those they deem to be enemies, with one occurring in Iran in January. ISIS has no love lost for Russia because the two of them have essentially been at war for a decade. The terrorist group is even operating in the Caucasus region, and the attackers were Russian citizens.
In other words, Putin is almost certainly lying by making the baseless claim that the terrorists had a "window" opened for them to enter Ukraine after the attack. Why is that an incredibly stupid assertion? Because Russia controls Eastern Ukraine and is dug in on the northern border, which means the terrorists would be running right into the teeth of Putin's military build-up. Does that sound probable to anyone when they could have simply fled to an EU nation or the Caucasus region where they have allies?
There's no motivation for Ukraine or the United States to be involved in such an attack anyway. If a connection was made to Ukraine, it would only rally support for the war in Ukraine. Further, if the CIA was trying to pull one over on Moscow, they wouldn't have preemptively warned the Russians that an attack was coming.
Here's what all the evidence points to at this moment. Putin got caught with his pants down and doesn't want to admit ISIS got the best of him. The Russian president needs a vast conspiracy involving the West to blame because the truth is too embarrassing.

Obama worked with Salman al Saud to destabilize Assad’s regime before the Russians stepped in. Then Trump came in and bin Salman (the current crown prince) imprisoned al Saud. All the money and support dried up in 2016.
Assad is bad news? Uh, compared to the fact that the State Dept, CIA, etc. always fund the most extreme groups because that’s where the action gets done. That’s why Egypt and Libya ended up fundamentalist-controlled shiteholes (well, Sisi took over in Egypt after they had tortured hundreds of people to death).
You’re a bit naive about this. A stable dictatorship is sometimes better than all out factional warfare. Obama even flipped Ukraine during the Sochi olympics. Now 500k Ukrainians are dead and the Deep State is continually doubling down.
I don’t think he claimed it was CIA or Ukraine.
The first sentence of the link you provided states:
“During the Syrian War, the US and other Western countries trained, equipped and paid Syrian rebels to fight the government and, later, root out the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL).”
I’m trying to understand how they trained Syrian rebels to fight Assad’s government AND root out ISIS ( or ISIL if you prefer), and STILL fund ISIS ( the group that supposedly claimed responsibility for the latest Moscow terror attack ). Why root them out and then fund them? 🤔
RE: I don’t think he claimed it was CIA or Ukraine.
EXCERPT:
Russia has claimed that the Moscow mall attackers “had contacts” in Ukraine and were trying to flee there after the deadly terror attack which has so far killed more than 140 people.
The problem is that they funded Al Nusra (as almost all funding goes to the most fundamentalist groups like AZOV, Muslim Brotherhood, and ISIS in Libya, because they get shite done).
Then Al Nusra disbanded and many reformed into ISIS with the money and weapons we provided, so later, right around the time ISIS started raping and murdering Yadzis, Obama started funding rebels to fight ISIS, who were then slaughtered because Obama was cautious to not give them the same fighting capabilities as he had done with Al Nusra.
And Al Nusra was only there because they wanted to install a pipeline with a puppet regime.
The fact that they tried to avoid Capture tell you there was more than just one,
72 year old virgin waiting for them. MONEY!
They did not do it for their religion. They did it for money.
Who paid and directed them?
ISIL/ISIS predates the Syrian Civil war.
Did you know sodomy is rampant in the Russian armed forces. They even have a special name for it. I doubt you’d know that though because I doubt you know anything about real Russia. You have an idealised view of it as some kind of family friendly nirvana

All media is saying Russia is accusing Ukraine, but I have yet to see an attributed quote.

Note in the article who the current Niger junta have turned to help fight ISiS after booting the frogs out. Yeh, you guessed it. Russia.
RE: Then Al Nusra disbanded and many reformed into ISIS with the money and weapons we provided,
So we UNINTENTIONALLY funded a group that eventually became ISIS and then fought the same group that we unintentionally funded to overthrow Assad.
So, how does that tie up with the accusation that we are now funding ISIS to attack Moscow last week? Exactly what does our government gain by doing this? I thought ISIS is now our enemy?
RE: Cui Bono?
Well, I’ve been asking this question myself.
If it was Ukraine, exactly what benefit do they get out of funding this terror attack? I don’t see any. All this attack did ( if Ukraine really were behind it ) was kill innocent civilians and make Ukraine look like a terror group like the evil Hamas. Stupid move if they’re trying to gain the world’s sympathy and support as the victim in this war.
I don’t think they’re so stupid as to be behind an operation that gained them nothing and only make it look bad to them in terms of public relations.
The CIA? That’s what the other accusation is. Again, to what end? If the CIA wanted to toppled Putin, this operation ( if CIA was behind it ) ONLY BOLSTERED public support for Putin.
I don’t see how this terror attack benefits either Ukraine or the CIA.

You mean when Russia added LGT pedophiles to their list of extremist and terrorist organizations?

Actually they were near the border with Belarus. But you probably don’t let facts get in the way of your fantasies.
The reporting is not coming from the US government, it is coming direct from ISIS news sources overseas.
Why do you believe CIA PR? They actually aren't very good unless they are trying to interfere in a US election.
They usually screw up foreign operations.
When ISIS claimed the attack and produced pictures of the attackers from before the attack that pretty much showed who did the attack.
