Gunmen kill more than 60 in concert attack near Moscow, Islamic State claims responsibility
MOSCOW, March 22 (Reuters) – Camouflage-clad gunmen opened fire with automatic weapons at concertgoers near Moscow on Friday, killing at least 60 people and injuring 145 in an attack claimed by Islamic State militants. In the deadliest attack in Russia since the 2004 Beslan school siege, gunmen sprayed civilians with bullets just before Soviet-era rock group “Picnic” was to perform to a full house at the 6,200-seat the Crocus City Hall just west of the capital. … Islamic State, the militant group that once sought control over swathes of Iraq and Syria, claimed responsibility for the attack, the group’s Amaq agency said on Telegram. … The United States has intelligence confirming Islamic State’s claim of responsibility for the shooting, a U.S. official said on Friday. The official said Washington had warned Moscow in recent weeks of the possibility of an attack.
“We did warn the Russians appropriately,” said the official, speaking on condition of anonymity, without providing any additional details.
Russia has yet to say who it thinks is responsible.

A month ago (to the day!) at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, Victoria “F the EU” Nuland promised that aid to Ukraine would allow it to “accelerate the asymmetric warfare that has been most effective” and that Putin is “sure to face some nasty surprises.”
Nuland left her post as the Deputy Secretary of State 10 days prior to this video. Moscow civilians were killed today in an act of terrorism (asymmetrical warfare). Embedded video

Now that the ISIS patches showing up in Armed Forces of Ukraine photos/videos are trending, it’s a good time for me to retweet this thread from last year. The writing was on the wall.

Now Al Qaeda & other Salafist Jihadist groups are reportedly entering Ukraine to fight Russia directly. Coincidentally, last week an ISIS recruiter the Taliban captured said he received funding via Ukraine. The Taliban only released this video domestically. Subtitles by a friend: Embedded video

Sanctions didn’t work. Billions in weapons didn’t work. Unwavering support didn’t work. Counter-offensive didn’t work. Non-stop propaganda didn’t work.
Rules-based terrorism is all they have left. It won’t work either. It just shows how evil and desperate they are.

I have been explaining for years that the US and Israel are behind ISIS. See it now?

As said previously: Russia. Is. At. War.
Some more facts re IS & ISKP:
– the ISKP was basically collapsed in 2019 by the USAF after it got too strong in Afghanistan
– after that its strategies drastically changed from military campaigns against the Taliban to terror acts against the local population
– a lot of restructuring happened in the local groups and in July 2020, the TTP (Pakistan Taliban) declared that ISKP was a stooge of regional intelligence agencies and had been established to damage the jihadi movement in the region; they split
– after the US “left” Afghanistan in 2021, ISKP ramped up its recruitment campaign, started a multi-lingual media campaign (Voice of Khurasan) and switched its targets to “the biggest enemies of Islam such as China, Iran and Russia,” and for ignoring the “eradication of the Uighur Muslims” and the “mass murders committed by the Russian, Iran regime and its proxies” in Iraq and Syria
– they carried out a high-profile suicide bombing on the Russian Embassy in Kabul, an attack on Chinese diplomats and businessmen at Kabul Longan Hotel, cross-border rocket attacks on Uzbekistan and Tajikistan, and an Inghimasi attack on Sikh-Hindu temple in Kabul targeting India’s interests in Afghanistan
– they went silent in Afghanistan though and during 2022/2023 we got a flurry of reports from the usual suspects that ISKP is a major threat now; here’s an example report of their recruitment efforts in Tajikistan, presenting themselves “as the vehicle for smashing Central Asia’s arbitrarily drawn borders”
– another report even noted: “Undoubtedly, the excessive hype around the mythical threats of ISKP in Western mainstream media is in the terrorist group’s strategic interests to target potential recruits in Central Asia where youth unemployment rates are highest in the world.”
fast forward to today:
– after a 2 year silence in regard to videos, on Feb 19 2024 the ISKP released a fresh video, highly graphic, telling the world: “we’re back! oh, and muslims in the Sahel, India & China are also oppressed, we need to take action!”
– beginning of March, the Brussels police arrests 4 terror suspects, no weapons found, no court details, total silence
– some days ago, the German police arrests 2 terror suspects, again no weapons, no details, silence again, but “link to ISKP”
– today the MSM claims that ISKP is behind the Moscow attacks BUT none of the IS statements of today are talking about ISKP, zero, see below
– MSM also claims, that recent arrests show that IS is active again
– as experts like @Minalami claim: “Again, just to confirm, no ‘wilayah’ (branch) mentioned in relation to the claim. This is similar to the Iran attack in Jan -no indicated branch” or “Important to note that contrary to some reports by media outlets saying that IS’s Afghanistan-focused “Khorasan Province” branch (ISKP or ISIS-K) claimed responsibility for the Moscow attack, IS has NOT claimed the attack in the name of that particular branch, at least not yet”
– plus the “IS” attacks in Iran in January, with quite a few similarities, plus the following wave of attacks mostly in Syria and Nigeria
For me, all this looks like an orchestrated show to re-introduce the tool IS, this time as ISKP – the IS variant matching the needs of the current time & conflict: Afghanistan/Russia, Iran as well as China via “East Turkmenistan”.
That whole ISKP thing is just a rebranding on the world stage plus the recruitment & move of forces to the new combat region(s) over the last 2 years by CIA & Mossad etc.
It doesn’t get more obvious than that.
Oh, and just for fun: here is one of their monthly propaganda pieces attacking the official list of enemies of the USA. In their latest they called for attacking “the murtad Arab armies and governments”, the “ring states”, “the armies of the Gulf states that host the American bases” but not the Jews or US bases, go figure…
