The armed attack that caused a massacre Crocus Music Hall, with 143 victims and several injured, it has now turned into something of a mystery. Russia has already arrested 11 people involved in terrorist planning, including the four alleged perpetrators. They would have been the ones to open fire on defenseless civilians ready to participate in a concert. ISIS has claimed responsibility, published photographs of the “fighters”, he showed bodycam videos with the terrible film worthy of a slaughterhouse. Yet the Kremlin does not believe, or does not want to believe, in the jihadist trail seeking a connection with Ukraine.
He said it Vladimir Putin in his speech to the Nation, where he never mentioned ISIS (which had already issued a statement claiming responsibility) nor dwelt on the nationality of the attackers (all from Tajikistan), but underlined how the terrorists were stopped a few kilometers away from the Ukrainian border where they would have had contacts to be able to cross the border. The Kremlin still points the finger at Ukraine, suggests there is some connection between Kiev and the attackers. The same goes for Russian propaganda channels, although yesterday Putin and Tajik President Emomali Rahmon spoke on the phone and agreed that they wanted to fight terrorism and that this work will be intensified.”

Ultimately, the Islamic State statements relaunched by Amaq are clear and unequivocal. The horror film lasts 1 minute and a half and we see the attackers shooting civilians at point blank range, starting a fire, attacking the defenseless victims with a knife. Everyone calls upon Allah. In the interrogation, if you can call it that, immediately after the arrest one of them confessed to having received money to carry out the action. He would have been recruited on Telegram by a preacher's assistant and had received a first tranche of a total payment of around 5 thousand euros. Another instead swears that he threw the weapons from the car while they were heading to Ukraine.

The videos published by ISIS allowed the identity of the attackers to be confirmed with reasonable certainty. The frames of the massacre coincide with videos of the interrogations immediately after the capture and at least three of the four people arrested appear to be recognizable in the chilling images of the massacre. Dalerjon Mirzoev admitted his guilt, confessing that it was he who set fire to the entire Crocus building. Rachabalizoda also pleaded guilty. 19-year-old Mukhamadsobir Fayzov arrived at court in a wheelchair and with a swollen face. For Fariduni, however, proceedings are taking place behind closed doors. The defendants face life imprisonment.
