The Jerusalem Post ^ | MARCH 23, 2024 14 | REUTERS

Islamic State released on Saturday a photo of what it said were the four attackers behind a shooting rampage that killed at least 143 people in a concert hall near Moscow on Friday, the terrorist group's Amaq news agency said on Telegram.

The publication noted that the attackers were armed with grenades, explosive devices, firearms, and knives. It was also reported that four ISIS terrorists carried out the attack - three of them were firing shots with firearms, while the fourth used explosives at the scene, Ynet reported.

"The attack comes within the context of a raging war between the Islamic State and countries fighting Islam," Amaq added in a statement citing security sources.

Biden and democrats are actually on the side of ISIS on this one

Right, that's why the US warned Putin of an impending ISIS attack on Moscow, which Putin disregarded.

The US warned Moscow that ISIS militants were determined to target Russia in the days before assailants stormed the Crocus City Hall in an attack that killed scores of people, but President Vladimir Putin rejected the advice as “provocative.”

Earlier this month, the US embassy in Russia had said it was “monitoring reports that extremists have imminent plans to target large gatherings in Moscow,” including concerts, and it warned US citizens to avoid such places.

US National Security Council spokesperson Adrienne Watson said the US government had “shared this information with Russian authorities in accordance with its longstanding ‘duty to warn’ policy.”

But in a speech Tuesday, Putin had blasted the American warnings as “provocative,” saying “these actions resemble outright blackmail and the intention to intimidate and destabilize our society.”

I dont think Putin is embarrassed. He feels like Bibi did on October 8th!

Israel has had the Gaza strip closely monitored for years. If a squirel crossed over it would be shot on site. Yet,...

...The IDF had no plan of response on 10-7-23. multiple failures of defensive strategies and command and control systems enabled terrorists to rampage through communities for long hours, murdering and pillaging, at will.

That is impossible, unless it was allowed.

Thanks for that report. Here's the State Department's white paper that confirmed Iraq had WMDs:

[How incompetent did the Moscow police have to be to let that happen?]

A good portion of them are probably sitting in trenches or decomposing in a field outside Andrivka.

“A false flag operation is an act committed with the intent of disguising the actual source of responsibility and pinning blame on another party.

...

The term today extends to include countries that organize attacks on themselves and make the attacks appear to be by enemy nations or terrorists, thus giving the nation that was supposedly attacked a pretext for domestic repression or foreign military aggression.”

Thought Russia claimed to have captured five assassins. Were these ‘extras’ ?

Russian's broke up ISIS cells in the past month that were planing on attacking Moscow.

That stance came despite Russian authorities having reported several ISIS-related incidents within the past month.

The state-run RIA Novosti reported on March 3 that six ISIS members were killed in a counter-terrorist operation in the Ingush Karabulak; on March 7, it said security services had uncovered and “neutralized” a cell of the banned organization Vilayat Khorasan in the Kaluga region, whose members were planning an attack on a synagogue in Moscow; and on March 20, it said the commander of an ISIS combat group had been detained.

Two sources familiar with the American information said that since November there had been a steady stream of intelligence that ISIS-K – an affiliate of ISIS that is active in Afghanistan and the surrounding region – was determined to attack Russia.

Moscow has intervened tellingly in Syria’s civil war, to the support of President Bashar al-Assad and against ISIS.

ISIS-K “sees Russia as being complicit in activities that regularly oppress Muslims,” Michael Kugelman of the Washington-based Wilson Center said, as quoted by Reuters.

He added that the group also counts as members a number of Central Asian militants, who hold their own grievances against Moscow.

US National Security Council spokesperson Adrienne Watson said the US government had “shared this information with Russian authorities in accordance with its longstanding ‘duty to warn’ policy.”

US warned Russia and also posted an embassy warning on March 7 to all US citizens to avoid large crowds. Putins response?

Russian President Vladimir Putin rejected US Embassy alert on an imminent attack

On Tuesday at a meeting with senior Federal Security Service officers, Putin hit out at "frankly, provocative statements" by Western officials earlier this month warning of a possible imminent terrorist attack in the city.

"All this resembles outright blackmail and the intention to intimidate and destabilize our society," the president told Russia's main internal security service, known as the FSB.

Islamists have many qualities in common with communists.
These people are human terminators.
They are immune to logic and common sense.
They cannot be reasoned with, they cannot be negotiated with.
Just ask the Israelis.
It’s like watching an ant colony.
They will use any and all means to achieve their goals.
They will persist in their efforts for absolute power and total control unless and until they are destroyed.
This is why the elusive ‘Two State Solution’ for Gaza or the Palestinians is nothing more than an illusion.
It is inherently and completely unacceptable to the Islamists, no matter how long politicians pursue this supposed ‘solution’.
The democrats brought Moslems to America many years ago, primarily because of the concept “the enemy of my enemy is my friend”. The democrats and the political left hate Christians and Christianity because Christians teach that homosexuality and abortion are sins, and these two groups make up a central core constituency for the democrats. Bringing in large numbers of people who hate Christians seemed like a good idea.
Now the left is ‘hoisted on their own petard’, caught between a rock and a hard place.
They need to win Michigan in the next election, but the Islamists that they brought in won’t support them in the next election because of the democrat support for Israel. American Jews are another must-have core constituency for the democrats.
What to do, what to do?
They now find themselves in a political steel trap of their own making, driven by ideology, and with no good options going forward. No matter which side they come down on, a large core constituency is going to very pissed off.
Their only option in Washington is to try and bully the Israelis into making concessions, but the Israelis are in a death struggle with a well funded and absolutely determined foe.
There are no good solutions to this dilemma, not for them and not for us.
And now the democrats have embraced both communism and Islam.
This is not going to end well, no matter who prevails.

There is no “smoking gun” tying this event to the CIA or any Western intelligence agency. You must ask, who benefits? Not Ukraine or its Western allies. Increasing Russian resolve to defeat Ukraine is not in their interests. If the Russian media claims Isis is a tool of the West, that will have the effect of increasing that resolve. Just like 9-11 did in mobilizing the U.S.

There certainly was a coordinated effort to not blame Ukr/CIA.

We likely won’t know for certain, but I think we’ll know who Russia blames.

And why are these signs in Arabic? We were told these attackers were from Central Asia, where Arabic is not written or spoken.

Because their right hands are holding rifles.
