Who is behind the Moscow Crocus City Hall attack? - The Global Jigsaw podcast, BBC World Service

Who is behind the Crocus City Hall attack? Within an hour of last week’s deadly attack on a concert hall outside Moscow, a campaign was gathering momentum to blame Kyiv for the atrocity while a parallel storyline claimed it was a Russian false flag operation.

We track the blame game: the narratives and the counter narratives underpinned by generous doses of disinformation.

U.S. told Russia that Crocus City Hall was possible target of attack. Who exactly in the U.S. said that. Do you have a name!😳

The blue bag around the neck, if you watched the prisoners entrance from vans transporting them to court, was tied around blindfolds on their eyes.

I would be astonished if Ukraine were not behind this. And the US had knowledge beforehand.

Listen BBC we are sick to death with your 'Story telling' instead of TRUTH Telling. Nobody gives a damn as to who said what, who blamed who, accusations, counter accusations, 'plot twists' the protagonists, the antagonists, etc. You are so far off course, that you have become a boring, parochial, mundane, doublespeak outlet, that preys on the gullible for your own agenda and nobody being the wiser; thanks for nothing, beyond irritating your audience.
