is constantly updated.
Moscow - The suspected terrorist attack in Moscow on Friday evening (March 22), which was most likely carried out by the IS terrorist militia, was carried out by at least four armed men, according to recordings.
So far, however, things have been strangely quiet around them, even several hours after the attack.
There is little – and unconfirmed – information about the whereabouts of the attackers in Russian media.
Who are the Moscow attackers: Russian media publishes photos
Initially, there were photos of five to six men circulating in Russian Telegram channels that were supposed to show the alleged attackers.
Accordingly, they came from the Muslim-dominated Russian Caucasus region of Ingushetia.
But the truth about the photos quickly came to light.
It was a terrorist cell that was neutralized by Russian special forces in a terrorist operation in the city of Karabulak in Ingushetia at the beginning of March.
However, two more photos and a video later emerged that were classified as authentic.
In one of the photos, the attackers can be seen sitting in their car - a white Renault - and driving to the Crocus City Hall concert hall to carry out their plan.
Another photo shows her car from behind.
In the video, which was captured by another car's dashcam, they can be seen getting out of the car and starting to fire their weapons.
Attackers from Tajikistan?
Two suspects have apparently already been arrested
Meanwhile, more photos are circulating in Russian media.
The Telegram channel
Baza
, which previously reported that the attackers escaped from the concert hall, shared mugshots purporting to show them.
There are a total of six suspects, with two already arrested in the Bryansk region, the channel's sources said.
Accordingly, the members of the cell that carried out the attack are citizens of Tajikistan.
Baza
also attached photos of supposedly official letters to police stations.
The date on the documents - March 23, 2024 - shows that it is a recent letter, with the perpetrators said to be 21, 29, 37 and 51 years old respectively.
Officials have not yet provided any information about the attackers.
The IS terrorist militia is represented in Central Asian countries with its branch “IS-Khorasan”.
“Khorasan” is a historical name for the region.
