Day of mourning in Russia after the brutal attack on Crocus City Hall in Krasnogorsk, on the outskirts of Moscow. In full mourning, with thousands of flowers flooding the area zero in tribute to the 133 fatalities, the terrorists of the Daesh They have published a very crude video, where they are seen shooting and finishing off wounded people. A video that refutes the accusations of the Russian president, Vladimir Putin, towards Ukraine, whose president has disassociated himself from the attack. Along the same lines, the United States insists that it is the Islamists and not Kyiv.

The video shows the desperation of the victims during the attack. Attendees hear the first shots outside the Crocus Theater. Some run inside due to the impassiveness of others who prefer to wait. They don’t know that the terrorists have opened fire against entrance security and that they may be the next to die. As the shots get closer, the crowd disperses, and once inside, the stragglers are hit and some manage to hide.

Once in the room, with the attendees cornered, the slaughter multiplies and the terrorists throw incendiary grenades. After 18 minutes of terrorthe attackers manage to flee until a radar catches them speeding kilometers from Moscow, key to the arrest of the suspects, five of them, from Tajikistan.

The terrorist group Daesh published this Sunday this video of just a minute and a half with a very graphic sequence of its brutal terrorist attack, where you can see how they machine-gun several people and cut the throat of an injured man. The images, edited and headed by a message in Arabic indicating “exclusive images for the Amaq agency that show moments of the bloody attack on Christians yesterday in Moscow”, dated Saturday the 23rd, were sent by IS’s main propaganda channel and immediately began to circulate through Telegram and WhatsApp channels, as well as on social networks such as X.

A video of special crudeness

In the video, of special crudeness, One of the terrorists can be seen firing an automatic weapon through a door and at least finishing off one fallen person behind a swinging door. Behind the door you can see a hallway where you can also see several fallen people and blood.

Then, another terrorist armed with a knife approaches an injured man lying on the ground and slashes him several times on the neck, then goes to the camera and gives a speech. In the video subtitled in Arabic the terrorist says: “Allah he is bigger, the infidels are defeated with the will of Allah. We set out in the path of Allah and to give victory to his religion.”

This Saturday, Amaq also spread an image of the four alleged perpetrators of Friday’s attack, at least three of which can be seen in this Sunday’s video, against a concert hall on the outskirts of Moscow, where according to Russian authorities at least 133 people died. Russian President Vladimir Putin has so far refrained from echoing the claim of the attack by the Islamic State, and has targeted Ukraine.

Everything points to the Islamic State of Khorasan

Daesh has claimed responsibility for the attack, but it has several ramifications. Marta Term, a researcher specialized in the North Caucasus, told laSexta that “the most logical thing is to think that the Islamic State of Khorasan, which encompasses several countries in Central Asia, “He is the author of the attack.”.

The self-proclaimed Islamic State has claimed responsibility up to three times, the last time, with this video. “If the videos made public by the Islamic State were not there, There would be different credible accounts about the authorship of the attack and therefore, an escalation against Ukraine and the West to see how it would position itself“explains Ter. Because Putin makes an effort to link what happened to Ukraine even though the group sees Russia as a real enemy.

“Russia has been in several wars, it has been in several holy wars. It has been in Afghanistan, it has been in Syria, against the Caucasus, who are also Muslims. Surely, They have seen this moment of weakness as a golden opportunity“explains the researcher.

A story that the United States also supports, which points to the Islamists, as Vice President Kamala Harris made clear this Sunday: “What happened is an act of terrorism… No, there is no evidence at all and, in fact, what we know is that the Islamic State is actually responsible.”
