Putin Blames Islamist Militants for Moscow Concert Hall Attack

Vladimir Putin blamed Islamist militants for the deadly attack on a Moscow concert hall for the first time, even as he persisted in seeking to tie Ukraine and the West to the worst atrocity in the Russian capital for two decades.

The Russian president said radical Islamists carried out the assault that killed 139 people at the Crocus City Hall in Moscow on Friday night, but that investigators were digging deeper to establish who was behind it.

“We know whose hands committed this atrocity against Russia and its people,” Putin told a meeting of top officials late Monday. “We are interested in who ordered it.”

When I heard pm Natanyahu actually saying "they will come after you" sent chills down my back. I have no idea why but then trying to be an extremist doesn't require reasoning. President.Putin, you did the right thing. I am happy because I feel protected.

They were muslim but not adhering to the muslim way. They held up the left hand pointing. Islamists use the right hand.
