Since there is some similar happenings in 2000 and 2002 that justified the Russian war against Chechnya at that time nothing will make me think otherwise,like some guys from ISIS have blown up a city hall in the center of Moscow,I simply don't buy it,Russia may have arrested anyone they want and they can make those guys declare what Russia wants,most likely you will see that they will blame this on Ukraine in order to justify their ongoing invasion.Russia since starting the war has lost a lot regarding manpower and military equipment so they need something now to further upscale their fight against Ukraine,however as long as Ukraine is supported by the EU and West it will keep making Russia suffer.
I'm also very sceptical about everything what comes from Russia, versions that they raised and videos of these arrested people. Knowing past history of Russia it's just hard to believe them.
Though, there is bodycam video from shooting published by Amaq News Agency which is linked to ISIS and you can here these terrorists talking arabic, so it maybe denies main version of Russia about Tajik terorists. Not going to post this video for obvious reasons, but you easily can find it on Telegram.
And call me cynical, but I don't have much emotions about this atack. In general, Russia is doing same and worse things in Ukraine for more than 2 years, most of these people who were in hall probably went to vote for Puting week ago. It's hard for me to feel sorry. Offcourse, I can't justify killing civilians, no matter how much I don't like Russia.
The name is “Crocus City Hall” . As far as I understand it is not a city hall like most people understand, it means the place we are talking about is not a government building. It is a venue, a mall. A private property. Many news agencies make the same mistake, it may not look important but I just wanted to fix it anyway.
Not a mall, it's venue for music concerts and attack was made right before one concert, so, there was thousands of people inside.
