Russia will track down masterminds of Moscow terrorist attack – Putin
It’s crucial to establish the perpetrators and ultimate beneficiaries behind the Crocus City Hall tragedy, the president has said
Russian security agencies will find the masterminds behind the terrorist attack on Moscow’s Crocus City concert hall, President Vladimir Putin has insisted.
It’s crucial to establish not only the direct perpetrators of the “bloody terrorist attack”which took place on March 22, but also all thelinks in the chain leading to its final beneficiaries, Putin said during a meeting with the leadership of Russia’s Interior Ministry on Tuesday.
“We will definitely get them,” the president said of the masterminds of the Crocus City Hall massacre, in which 144 people were killed and more than 550 injured.
Mercenary terrorist attacks are “a weapon that is being used against Russia,” butthose who resort to itmust understandthat it is a “double-edged weapon,” he stressed.
There are “no reliable agents”in the circle of people who are ready to execute such crimes, Putin said. “They’re doing anything for money, not guided by any religious or political considerations, only financial ones,” he explained, adding that “any information can be easily bought and sold” in such a market.
The actions of all law enforcement agencies, supervisory bodies and commercial organizations who were in charge of security at the Crocus City Hall are now being evaluated, the president said.
“We have paid a very high price, and theanalysis of the situation has to be extremely objective and professional,” he insisted.
Putin said thata “new level” of securitymust be implemented at places where large numbers of people gather, such as at sporting venues, shopping and entertainment centers, schools, hospitals, theaters and others.
Russia’s security agencies and police have been on high alert since the Crocus City Hall terrorist attack. All four suspected perpetrators, who are Tajik nationals, were captured the next day as they were driving towards Ukraine. Several more people who allegedly aided them in preparing and staging the massacre have been arrested since then.
Islamic State Khorasan (ISIS-K) has claimed responsibility for the attack on the concert venue. FSB chief Aleksandr Bortnikov has suggested that the US, UK, and Ukraine might also be linked to the crime, possibly using radical Islamists as proxies. All three have denied their involvement; Washington andBrussels have insistedthat Kiev had nothing to do with the massacre.
(Brussels cannot possibly know if Kiev was not involved, whatthey are afraid is the EU and NATO have knowingly funded Kiev a terrorist regime. Kiev have admitted many times they have done many terrorists actions of killing and destruction.If it’s proventhat Kiev planned it, all theEU leaders will be kicked outin June EU elections for funding a terrorists regime.They are praying the truth is not revealed until after the elections. Patriots from the EU spread this around. The more the EU, US and NATO countries deny Kiev’s involvement the more people question the leaders.)
