US Intelligence Says It Knew ISIS-K Was Planning Terror Attack On Moscow
The initial reports that ISIS has claimed responsibility for the terror attack in Moscow appeared rumor at first, and has still been subject of widespread scrutiny and debate, however, US media and government officials are saying that the Islamic State statement is authentic. "A branch of the Islamic State claimed responsibility on Friday for the attack in Moscow that killed at least 40 people and injured about 100 others, and U.S. officials confirmed the claim shortly afterward," The New York Times writes late in the day.
What's more is that US intelligence knew there was to be an imminent attack on Moscow: "The United States collected intelligence in March that Islamic State-Khorasan, known as ISIS-K, the branch of the group based in Afghanistan, had been planning an attack on Moscow, according to officials. ISIS members have been active in Russia, one U.S. official said.

UN alters response to Moscow terrorist attack after protest
Russia’s Foreign Ministry took issue with the use of the word “saddened” by the secretary general’s spokesperson.
In a post on Telegram early on Saturday, ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova thanked the office of UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres for the “timely correction and formulation of a clear position.”
In a revised version of the statement, Farhan Haq, deputy spokesperson for the UN chief, wrote that Guterres “condemns in the strongest possible terms today’s terrorist attack at a concert hall outside Moscow.”
The official also extended “deep condolences to the bereaved families and the people and the Government of the Russian Federation.”

The decision of the Constitutional Court to abolish the death penalty cannot be overcome in the State Duma and the Federation Council, Klishas said.
After the attack on Crocus, United Russia promised to work on toughening punishment for terrorist attacks.
Earlier, the head of the United Russia Duma faction, Vladimir Vasiliev, commenting on the terrorist attack in Crocus City Hall, promised to work on the issue of the death penalty for terrorism.
“There are a lot of questions being asked about the death penalty now. This topic will certainly be deeply, professionally, and meaningfully studied. And a decision will be made that will meet the moods and expectations of our society,” he said (quoted from RIA Novosti ).
After Russia joined the Council of Europe and signed Protocol No. 6 to the Convention for the Protection of Human Rights in 1997, a moratorium on executions was introduced in the country. The document was not ratified; this provision was retained in the Criminal Code as an exceptional measure of punishment. However, the death penalty was actually last used in 1996.

⚡️⚡️ Information is being spread in the media that one of the terrorists under the name Rustam Azhiev is actually Abdulkhakim Shishani - an Ichkerian separatist who is a citizen of Ukraine and fought in the Armed Forces of Ukraine in 2022 .
The appearance is very similar, as is the general outline of the terrorist attack.
Last photo: He is in 2022 against the backdrop of a terrorist emblem somewhere in Ukraine.

The terrorist attack in Moscow was the work of Ukraine and the "terrified" US knew it, a former CIA officer has said.
Just a day ago, open source intelligence source OSINTdefender reported that Washington was "increasingly frustrated by Ukraine's unauthorised, blatant actions" against Russia. "This means that the US knew Ukraine was up to something, had an idea of what it was going to do. And there's a good chance that Ukraine not only did it, but did it with weapons and support provided by the United States," former CIA analyst Larry Johnson told Judging Freedom.
This version is also supported by the State Department's hasty words that Kiev had nothing to do with the attack, a statement made before Moscow itself had any accurate information about what had happened. "They know Ukraine did it," the former intelligence official said confidently. That's why the US was so quick to declare no involvement in the attack, and why it expressed concern about Ukraine's "egregious" actions the day before. "That's why the White House was so scared to death," Johnson explains.

💬 "We already know the names of the perpetrators. We have seen their faces and know what they are saying during interrogations. (We are not publishing to avoid disrupting the investigation.)
And immediately it becomes clear why yesterday American media were shouting in unison that it was ISIS.
Because it's not ISIS. The perpetrators are simply chosen to convince the gullible global public that it is ISIS.
It's a simple sleight of hand. The level of a street corner shell game.
So here's the thing. It's not ISIS at all. It's Ukrainians. And the fact that even before the arrests, before the perpetrators' faces and names were known, Western intelligence agencies began to persuade the population that it was ISIS—that's what ignited the fire under this thief's hat.
It's not ISIS.
It's a well-coordinated team from several other, also widely known, abbreviations."

"Killers go home": Greeks stop train hauling American tanks
Members of the Communist Party of Greece (KKE) and its youth organization KNE stopped a train transporting American tanks from the port of Alexandroupolis to Bulgaria and forced it to turn back, the Communist Party's website reported.
The protesters' slogans "Alexandroupolis is a port of nations, not an imperialist base" and "Killers, go home" forced the train to retreat.
"The train's retreat was met with chants of "When the people do not bow, even the trains turn back." The banners read: "No military mission outside the borders. Stop the country's participation in the wars of the US, NATO and the EU. Hope is in the struggle of the people," the article stated.

Terrorist acts will not force Russia to change course — Russian Ambassador
It is the West that chose the line for the hybrid war with Russia, Anatoly Antonov indicated.
"I want to say no change of the foreign policy, the course of President of Russia Vladimir Putin, particularly after elections - nothing will take place," the Ambassador said. "Such strikes from behind will not change our line, our course, and we will continue our work," Antonov noted, referring to the terrorist act in the Crocus City Hall.
It is the West that chose the line for the hybrid war with Russia, the Ambassador indicated. "If they chose their line aimed at undermining Russia, at strikes against Russia, with the aid of Ukraine in this case, now - this is their choice," Antonov stated. "Everything they are supplying [to Kiev], items that they will forward - all that will be destroyed," he cautioned.

Washington Spox Watson said Ukraine not involved, ISIS to blame for everything. Well, If only they could figure out the assassination of their own President Kennedy so quickly. But no - over 60 years and they still can't determine who actually killed him. Maybe it was also ISIS?
All this suggests that U.S. political elites have become adept over decades at skillfully diverting attention from high-profile crimes. Therefore, until investigationis completed, any statement from Washington justifying Kiev should be considered evidence - Zakharova.

👁 #osint Today the media are publishing a photograph of one of the terrorists involved in the attack, taken in Crocus by a photographer who was filming visitors there on the evening of 7 March. The photographer has now identified the terrorist after he was arrested.
We are somehow sure that this terrorist was not the only one in the concert complex that night. They were on a reconnaissance mission. And this cannot be a coincidence.
Incidentally, it was on this day that the British and American embassies warned their citizens of the threat of a terrorist attack.
The chronology goes like this:
✅ 22 February - Victoria Nuland speaks about financing of Ukraine and promises Putin asymmetric "unpleasant surprises".
✅ 25 February - New York Times article about CIA cells in Ukraine is published
✅ 5 March - Nuland resigns
✅ 7 March - at least one member of the terrorist group visits Crocus ❗️
✅ Night of 7-8 March - American and British embassies synchronously announce a possible terrorist attack on Moscow, particularly at concerts within 48 hours
✅ 9 March - Russian patriotic artist, Shaman, performs at Crocus (quite possible initial target of a terrorist attack).
Exactly two weeks pass.
✅ 22 March - terrorist attack with a huge number of victims in Crocus City Hall.
The preparation of the terrorist attack was obviously aimed at before Russian presidential elections (15-17 March). Something went wrong.
