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.
??? It's been running it since November of 1963.
Putin doesn’t need that. He already won the election, can project actual power in Ukraine, already has the power to call up more troops, has a war already on the border making the Russian people fearful. What more could he gain?
Jake Kirby said Concerts 1st in his video warning to Americans in Russia too. ZenlinGay is the clown. Funny how the west had dozens of people simultaneously defending Ukraine before Russia made any announcements.
RE: What more could he gain?
He needs more soldiers ( young men ) to throw into battle. I was in Eastern Europe last week and I saw a lot of Russian men who fled Russia to avoid conscription. What better way to justify conscription than to drum up patriotism?
Most of the world have been saying that Russia is the aggressor in this war and Ukraine is the victim. Well, a little terror attack will give Putin the propaganda tool to respond that this is not so. “I am protecting Russia from those Ukrainian terrorists”.
You can speculate and I can speculate.
I doubt most of the world is saying that. They aren’t that stupid nor is their memory that short. While many in the west may believe that the rest of the world saw the US/UK and NATO role in starting the war. While you were traveling did you happen to ask their opinion of the US and NATO and the EU?
RE: I doubt most of the world is saying that.
we can go bqack and forth on what “most of the world” means. But here’s the relevant fact I present:
March 2, 2022: In the first vote, 141 countries voted to condemn the invasion and demand Russia’s withdrawal. 5 countries voted against, and 35 abstained. Al Jazeera:
https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2023/2/24/un-tells-russia-to-leave-ukraine-how-did-countries-vote
October 12, 2022: The UN General Assembly voted again condemning Russia’s attempted annexation of Ukrainian territories. 143 countries voted in favor, 5 against, and 35 abstained. UN Press Release:
The five countries that voted against the resolutions condemning Russia’s invasion of Ukraine are:
Belarus
Eritrea
North Korea (Democratic People’s Republic of Korea)
Syria
Russia itself
https://press.un.org/en/2022/ga12458.doc.htm
If that;’s not most of the world against Russia’s invasion, then I don’t know what is. Russia does not have to propagandize to those 5 countries, Russia has to propagandize for 143 plus 5 countries.
Just completely evade the question and ignore the comments. Good thinken! Very clever.
i thought we were talking about what the rest of the world says, not the UN. Your “the rest of the world” didn’t miss US provoking Russia with NATO expansion? or that they missed how they’ve been interfering since 2014? How many countries in “the rest of the world” has the US or the EU interfered in anyway?
So Osama wasn't an Isaac Asimov fanboi?
Sure. It probably wasn’t the US or the Ukrainians or Putin himself who did it, but when “ISIS provides evidence” is it ISIS Central somewhere in the Middle East or ISIS sympathizers in Central Asia or the Caucasus who are providing the evidence?
No idea what you’re talking about.
while we’re on that subject how many of those 141 countries voted with the US either because the US paid them or threatened regime change?
This is the stupidity we now have ruining Free Republic.
Here is your logic:
Biden opened the Southern border which is bad.
Therefore of course the same people are behind an ISIS terror attack at a concert in a suburb of Russia.
Then you sit there drooling and complaining I didn’t answer the incredible “logic” of your nonsense.
Those in the U.S. government, by intentionally leaving the U.S. border wide open to terrorist and violent criminals has been committing de facto terrorist attacks on the American people for years, leaving a wake of tens of thousands of dead, maimed, burglarized, robbed, raped, knifed, shot, and ran over innocent Americans.
Try to wake yourself up.
Stuck on stupid aren’t you?
It also means the CIA and democrats must be behind an outer space alien invasion and covering it up
Obviously, because they are de facto letting aliens in to commit crimes and they deny it and we have reports of UFO’s invading our airspace.
In fact, there was a home invasion of an old lady down the street so that must have been the CIA
And of course based on your “logic” the CIA must have been behind 9/11.
This is the retarded crap sensible people have to listen to now. The lunatic blathering of leftist kooks like you, who the have the sheer b@lls to insult other people.

Space aliens, UFOs? Great retort slick.
You’re a kook and you can’t stop repeating it can you?
There is absolutely zero evidence that the CIA was involved in a terror attack at a concert in Moscow.
But we have nuts like you insisting it definitely happened.
Bye
almost as if they have the same goals at least in this case.
Shaaadup stupid.
