The videos, which were published by IS’s news agency Amaq, showed the gunmen filming themselves as they hunted concertgoers through the lobby of the Crocus City Hall and fired at them from pointblank range, killing scores of people. At one point, one of the gunmen tells another to “kill them and have no mercy”.
Sorry, Vlad. Can’t pin it on Ukraine anymore.
ISIS having to work hard to prove they were the ones who did it, since Putin is so excited to blame Ukraine
I remember a The Onion video back around 9/11 that had a satirical interview with someone from al Qaeda who was pissed off at the 9/11 Truthers who thought that the US government staged 9/11 after all the work al Qaeda did to set it up.

Isis, right. The US is finally feeling the pressure of the world to support people of the middle east, and coincidentally, ISIS just so happens to come out of whatever hole they were in and mount a terrorist attack in Russia that kills civilians. I can’t make any claims because there is no clear proof, but at this point it still seems very sus to me
If the US were trying to stage a new terror attack to re-inflame Islamophobia, they surely would have picked a more sympathetic target than Russia.
And if we were trying to justify a war in the Middle East, they could’ve done better than claim the attack came from a bunch of guys from Afghanistan - you know, that country we occupied for twenty years and never truly controlled in any meaningful sense? Do you think the public would back a second invasion of Afghanistan, at great expense and cost of human life?
Not to mention that the US spent years fighting IS. I don’t think that IS is likely very favorably-inclined towards the US, and certainly not to the extent of wanting to claim responsibility for an attack in some kind of convoluted effort to…improve the US’s image for supporting Israel, of all things?
And hell, let’s even ignore all that. Let’s make the assumption that IS were favorably inclined towards the US, and not just that, but so much that they’d make a bogus claim of responsibility for an attack on Russia. Why would they even bother with making a bogus claim? Why not just…do the attack in the first place?
Russia is currently aligned with the Arab world. America is already Islamophobic enough to go on a crusade against Muslims in the holy land.
Russia is currently aligned with Iran. Which is last time I checked, pretty proud if not being Arabic.
Not everything is about the US.
Good, let’s keep it that way
