“What we know about the attack on a Moscow concert hall.
Who are the Crocus City Hall victims?
More than 6,000 Russians had flocked to the retail and concert complex for the event.
The number of those who were killed has been rising steadily.
By Saturday afternoon, at least 133 had been confirmed dead. The first official list of casualties suggested the oldest victim was in her 70s, with three children among the dead..
Who are the attackers?
It appears that those who carried out the attack managed to escape the inferno and mayhem they left behind and a manhunt began.
Russian MP Alexander Khinshtein said the attackers fled in a white Renault car. According to him, police tried to stop the vehicle in the Bryansk region, about 340km (210 miles) away from Moscow, managing to arrest two people as the others fled.
Some 14 hours after the first reports of shooting, Russia's Federal Security Service (FSB) announced 11 people had been arrested, including four "directly involved".
Their identities have not been announced. Russia's interior ministry said they were foreign nationals.
Unconfirmed reports have mentioned nationals from Tajikistan - Mr Khinshtein said passports from the country had been found in the car.“
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-68645755.ampThe Russian people don’t deserve this, they’ve been dragged into a war they didn’t vote for, and can’t complain or they might get jailed or get free flying lessons out of a 12th floor window, get a dose of polonium or novichok, strangled or shot.
With the Anti Putin Russian troops attacking from Ukraine into Belgorod oblast, many Chechens, ethnic Russians, Belorussians and Siberians defecting along with others from the Russian federation, it seems opposition to the Kremlin is on the rise.
This attack seems to be yet another armed protest against Putin, not enough to see the disintegration of the Russian federation, but if more openly revolt, there could be big problems that Russia might not be able to spread itself enough to hold back.
Which will sadly mean more Russian civilians getting the brunt of it.
