Putin says gunmen who raided Moscow concert hall tried to escape to Ukraine. Kyiv denies involvement
Source: ABC News
Russian authorities arrested the four men suspected of carrying out the attack on a suburban Moscow concert hall that killed at least 133 people, President Vladimir Putin said Saturday during an address to the nation. He claimed they were captured while fleeing to Ukraine.
Kyiv strongly denied any involvement in Friday's attack on the Crocus City Hall music venue in Krasnogorsk, and the Islamic State's Afghanistan affiliate claimed responsibility.
Putin didn't mention IS in his speech, and Kyiv accused him and other Russian politicians of falsely linking Ukraine to the assault in order to stoke fervor in Russia's war in Ukraine, which recently entered its third year.

(86,646 posts)I watched the Ruzzian dude video about it today. It was heavily censored but he was still quite informative.
Anyone who was paying attention back in 1999/2000 knew it was pootin who had those buildings bombed for political affect. He does it after every election to shore up his base. Sound familiar?

(111,270 posts)The mystery of how the roof was set on fire is solved, they used hobby drones with primitive incendiary devices.
The mystery of why the metal detectors weren't working and security was absent has not been solved.
It's no mystery that the commandos will be misidentified as Ukrainian. Medvedev did that during the first 2 minutes of the attack.
What we will never know about the commando attack on that theater is the truth.
Always remember that.

(520 posts)That Ukraine was behind the attack, under torture. They might not even be the actual perpetrators, they could just be some political prisoners hauled in front of the cameras so Putin could claim they caught them right away.
