At least 60 killed in Moscow concert hall attack, Russia says

Why would Islamic State attack Russia?

BBC News, Washington DC
An Islamic State affiliate's claim that it was behind the Moscow attack would, if proved correct, be the latest in a number of Islamist-linked attacks in or against Russia in recent years.
A Russian plane was blown up over Egypt’s Sinai desert in 2015 with 224 people on board, most of them Russian citizens.
That attack was claimed by Islamic State, which later published a photograph of the explosive device.
In 2017, a bomb attack on the St Petersburg metro that killed 15 people was also linked to radical Islamists.
Militant groups have been fighting Russian forces in the North Caucasus region of the country for decades.
Large numbers of them flocked to Syria to join IS when the group was formed 10 years ago. Some militants that operate in the Russian North Caucasus have declared allegiance to IS, say experts.
But the specific group that has claimed today’s attack, ISIS-K, is the Islamic State affiliate in Khorasan - an old term for a region that includes parts of Iran, Turkmenistan and Afghanistan.
Counterterrorism experts say Russia has found itself “in the crosshairs” of ISIS-K, which frequently criticises President Putin in its propaganda.
It accuses the Kremlin of atrocities against Muslim people in military campaigns in Chechnya and Syria, as well as in the Soviet-era invasion of Afghanistan.

Rigged elections have consequences and Joe Biden has destabilized the entire world
Those in my social media circle who mainly patronise pro-Russian Leftie wanker media are all disbelieving that Islamist militants would attack "friend of Islam" Russia.
ReplyDeleteRussia has made a great dog-and-pony show about how friendly and respectful they are of Muslims.
The facts, which you will not read about in pro-Russian media is how brutally Russia has oppressed Muslims within and without Russia's borders.
Those at the receiving end know very well Russia is NO Friend of Islam.
Chechnya - now under Putin arselicker Ramzan Kadyrov - but nothing can cleanse off the barbaric Russian invasion and devastation of Chechnya. Groups continue to resist the Russians in the mountains,
Syria - you probably never heard of the Russian General dubbed the "Butcher of Aleppo".
The "rigged" elections is Putin's.
Direct fart from a foul gaseous chamber!
DeleteMfer, don't quote. Use first hand info - ie yr own personal experience - to support yr rant of inconsequential!
After the Las Vegas shooting back in early October 2017, by end of October, a bunch of Saudi's elites of elites, were lured into a posh hotel and thereafter, the hotel became a prison for them. At the same time, the information began dropping in anonymous board.
ReplyDeleteWill we see similar things? Seeing the people escaping the building brought to mind of the Las Vegas similar scene.
