Islamic State has released a new video of the attack in Moscow


As Russia blames Ukraine for the Moscow concert hall attack, the international terrorist group Islamic State (IS) has released a new video. The organization has been accepting responsibility for this attack since the beginning. They have made a statement about this before.


Last Friday, the attack was carried out at Crocus City Hall in the Krasnogorsk region, north of Moscow. At least 143 people have been killed so far. After the attack, IS said, "This attack was carried out in the context of the ongoing war with them (anti-Islamic) countries." The United States also said that IS was involved in the attack.


IS released the new video on the organization's media outlet 'Amaq'. It can be seen that the attackers are firing indiscriminately at the people participating in the music program at the Crocus City Hall. Many are lying on the floor. At one point a gunman is heard saying, 'Kill them, show no mercy.'


Russian intelligence said 11 suspects were arrested on the Ukrainian border after Friday's attack. Four of them are believed to be directly involved in the murder. Russian Central Intelligence Agency FSB official Andrey Popov believes that Ukraine is behind this attack, not IS. And it was financed by the United States.


Russian President Vladimir Putin also commented on the same. Without commenting on IS, he said, "Kyiv government has created an opportunity for terrorists to cross the border of Ukraine to enter Russia." However, Ukraine has rejected these accusations of Russia. Kiev claims, that through this, Moscow wants to create an area to further increase the level of ongoing war in the country.


Meanwhile, in a statement, US National Security Council Spokesperson Adrienne Watson said, they have received intelligence that only IS is behind the attack in Moscow. Ukraine has nothing to do with the attack.


Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova spoke strongly to Washington after such a claim by the United States. On Sunday, he wrote on the messaging app Telegram, 'I had hoped that they (the United States) would solve the mystery of the assassination of their President John F. Kennedy very quickly. But no, even after more than 60 years, they finally couldn't find the killer. Or was IS involved in that murder?'
