Breaking - Shooting and Explosion at Concert Hall in Moscow

The FSB allegation is here: https://www.rferl.org/a/1061058.html

Details of how it was the FSB who deliberately prevented a negotiated settlement and instead launched a full on assault using rocket launchers, tanks and flamethrowers to deliberately kill as many of the hostages as possible: https://www.hudson.org/node/32350

Russia is a terrorist state and The FSB are behind most of the terrorism that occurs there.

147 detained in Turkey now.

The founder of Bellingcat weighing in on Nexta's tweet:

Putin will never go Nuclear.

Most of his family and his buddies families are safely living in Europe including Putins daughter.

The sheer hypocrisy of their ramblings about the west is off the scale.

98%, just a coincidence of course. The turks were cutting off the ears of looters after the earthquake.

Bellingcat are top tier OSINT, they've happily back it if there was credibility to it.

On that particular day, I was on the way to Nazran, and I passed Beslan in the morning. There were people police and military already gathered, but at that stage, it was still calm. It was several days before I passed it again on the way back. As for tripwires and explosives, there would be standard in that kind of situation. And once the shooting started, all hell broke loose, the FSB say that the hostage takers started it off, while local people say that it was the FSB who fired first. Anything I found out about afterwards was from colleagues talking. As for being a bit doubtful about my take on other things, feel free to discuss anything that you have doubts about. That's the whole point of boards, it's a discussion forum.

The attack was a "notable Russian intelligence and law enforcement failure," the Institute for the Study of War (ISW), a U.S. think tank, said earlier this week.

The reason, experts suggest, is tunnel vision: With all roads in the Kremlin leading to Ukraine, the FSB's attention was divided and ISIS-K slipped through. This, analysts say, is something that's unlikely to change.

I find it really hard to believe that Putin would find it hard to reason himself into believing that killing his daughter and buddies would be just a consequence of war for the protection of mother Russia…

He's currently denying that Russia has no intention of invading Europe. Exactly, the same type of denials before entering Ukraine. He definitely has those ambitions, but whether Putin gets that far is up to how long Ukraine takes and whether Trump gets in power or not. If Trump gets in power, it will be all systems go for retaking the old soviet countries.

Because I'd say that the original contract they had was to transfer a van from Moscow to Belarus, and not Ukraine. No way would anyone, let alone someone from the provinces go next or near Ukraine. One of the things mentioned by my Russian friend's is how could anyone value life so cheap as to murder 137'000 people for 1 million rubles? What kind of inhuman scumbags could do something like that? The thing is, they were not contracted to kill anyone,(FSB were handling that) they were the patsies, unfortunately for them, and not only them, but anyone, relatives or anyone who had any dealings with them are in deep trouble now,and not only them, but all people from the provinces who happen to be in either Moscow or St. Petersburg. Even now, they are being rounded up, and sent to the from lines.

New findings from the investigations.
