At
least 143 people were killed in the Crocus City Hall terrorist attack
outside Moscow on March 22, with the death toll expected to increase
further.
Russia's
Federal Security Service (FSB) Director Alexander Bortnikov reported on
Friday the arrest of 11 suspects in connection with the terrorist
attack on the Crocus City Hall concert venue, including all four supposedly directly involved in it.
The suspects were detained in the Bryansk region, which borders Ukraine, according to Bortnikov.
The fact that the suspected terrorists were going to cross the Russian-Ukrainian border shows that they planned their evacuation routes via Ukraine, Andrey Popov, a reserve FSB colonel and member of the Association of Veterans of the Alfa anti-terror group, said in an interview with Sputnik.
“It
would be unrealistic for the terrorists to cross the Ukrainian border
without contacts with the country’s special services or the Ukrainian
side on the whole,” Popov said.
"In
other words, the version about ISIS’* involvement in the Crocus City
Hall attack – claimed by the US-led West - holds no water. All these
citizens with Tajik passports were moving towards Ukraine, which
indicates that it was the Kiev regime who ordered this atrocity," the
reserve FSP colonel added, referring to the attack.
He
also suggested that Washington could "directly or indirectly" organize
this deadly shooting rampage and that the US could “definitely” finance
it, because "terrorism in the form of Ukraine has no other sources of
funding except from the US and the UK."
He
recalled in this vein that the US had not extended condolences to
Russia in connection with the Crocus City Hall attack, which was not the
case with Russian President Vladimir Putin, who offered his condolences
in light of the 9/11 terrorist attack in America...
