The terrorist group Islamic State (IS) has claimed responsibility for the deadly attack on a concert hall in Moscow, where at least 133 people lost their lives. The group released an image of the four alleged perpetrators of the attack, which took place on the outskirts of the Russian capital.
In a message distributed by the group’s propaganda organ, the spokesman for Islamic State called on lone wolves to carry out massacres against Christians and Jews during the month of Ramadan, specifically targeting the United States, Europe, and Israel. The spokesman celebrated the attack in Moscow, praising the efforts of the “soldiers of the caliphate” and encouraging more violence against Jews and Crusaders.
The message also referenced the ongoing conflict in Gaza and called for a united invasion to support Muslims in the region. The group’s leader reiterated previous calls for attacks against the United States and Europe, urging followers not to distinguish between civilians and soldiers.
Russian authorities have confirmed that the attack in Moscow was carried out by “radical Islamists,” with President Vladimir Putin hinting at possible connections to Ukraine. The investigation into the attack is ongoing as authorities work to determine the full extent of the militant group’s involvement.
