Moscow attack: 'Terrorist' investigations underway after deadly shooting at Russian concert hall

Four people suspected of carrying out a deadly attack on a concert hall in Moscow have been detained, including two following a car chase, a Russian lawmaker said on Saturday.

The two were caught in Russia’s Bryansk region, southwest of the capital, lawmaker Alexander Khinshtein said on Telegram.

Other suspects fled into a nearby forest on foot, he added.

“During the pursuit, shots were fired and the car overturned. One terrorist was detained on the spot, the rest fled into the forest. As a result of the search, a second suspect was found and detained at approximately 3:50 a.m. The search for the others continues,” the lawmaker said.

Mr Khinshtein said a pistol, a magazine for an assault rifle and passports from Tajikistan were found in the car.

I have a fair question:

Why did the Us and the UK launched this massive news campaign in which they're promoting the idea that the ISIS is responsible for the Moscow attacks? I tried to conceive that but it took me nowhere! I mean it's obvious that there's something wrong with their involvement in this matter ...

I’m a Moscow citizen, and I blame the USA and Ukraine governments. And, I declare this terrorist attack is more uniting us, Russians, against the West. Not citizens, but the western politicians in the governments.

I don't believe in the Russian invasion or occupation of Ukraine. That said these people were not enemy combatants or engaged in occupation duties but were instead people going to enjoy music. It is a human tragedy and i feel for the victims and their families

This attack is identical to that carried out at the Bataclan in Paris in 2015. No one needs to guess who the attackers are.

To everyone screaming false flag: Islamic terrorist attacks have been part of Russias history for the last half century. Read about the history of terrorist attacks in Russia. This is not the first time and not even the biggest attack. My condolences to anyone who has lost someone in this tragedy. Only thing that makes this very strange to me, is that no one is yelling allahuakbar in the videos.
