why are you lying ?? is not a shooting like in the USA, this was a terrorjist attack
By the evening of March 24. The official death toll was updated by the Investigative Committee: there are now 137 people on the list. 62 bodies have already been identified.
The FSB, that is the equivalent of the FBI in the US, is normally very responsive to allegations of "hate crimes" but appears to have been asleep while this terrorist event unfolded. The perpetrators were presumably hardened professionals, a suicide squad, even, apparently surrendered easily. Armed with rifles and fluid accelerants, succeeded in massacring a climbing scale of victims who were able to record their own deaths on their phones. Meanwhile, the steel and concrete structure was able to ignite and burn spectacularly through the night. There doesn't appear to be any independent investigation other than the public proclamations of political leaders that the perpetrators were employed by Ukraine and therefore they will be punished soon with unspecific measures. The entire event is remarkably similar to the 9-11 attacks in NY, including with the same or similar motives and results. Not much hope here for normal human beings to avoid being caught up into hysteria and destructive, never ending war and famine. Bring on the red heifers!!!!!
UK the banana republic where a £15m pound donation to the tories lands you a £400m govt contract.
unfortunately that what happened when you gave an supporting to the terrorists all over the world!!!we need to stop this mascaras and wake up and see the truth, not just going blind after all the lies they spread!!
This was done by the Ukrainian ISIS. There are ISIS units in the Ukrainian Armed Forces; they are also paid through aid from London and Washington. They have Ukrainian citizenship and are used for terrorist attacks in Russia.
Wow. You mean everything putin has tried to do to the USA is now coming back at him? 😂😂
Forget the war for a few minutes and feel sorry for the people killed and injured. They were not soldiers, they were civilians harming nobody.
The latest figures are 115 killed and over 140 injured, mostly critical.
For once my heart feels for the Russian people ♥️ 🫶🫶🇷🇺 I pray for you.
Ukraine is a state of terrorists. How can such a state be sponsored?
I have disliked the leadership of Russia…but…these victims are regular Russian folks…as normal as any population of any country. This is a terrorist attack on people carrying on their normal lives and innocent of and not the leadership. That is what makes it a tragedy. My heart goes out to those victims. Russia now has it's own version of the tragedy of 9/11. It's always the regular population that suffer. Terrorism, worldwide, must be stopped by ALL governments.
Putin was silently trying to get rid of his oppositioners while they gathered in the theater.😱🙀
BBC are you lost 😮
20 min back posting a three days old video as breaking news !!??
The word of God says……
Zechariah 7:9–10 (NIV)
This is what the Lord Almighty said: "Administer true justice; show mercy and compassion to one another. Do not oppress the widow or the fatherless, the foreigner or the poor."
To ALL believers of Jesus Christ who believe that he is the MESSIAH and the son of God.
PLEASE pray daily for the Palestinians, that God saves, protects and helps them in this time of great need. May God CANCEL all evil plans against them and STOP this atrocity that is being done against them. They are being killed and starved to death and the evil wants to continue kill. Only God can stop netanyahu and his regime, God is stronger then anyone and God is a God of justice.
Keep praying each day for them as only God can make this evil stop and when you pray do it in the name of his son JESUS CHRIST. Christ loves ALL people and he died for ALL people including the Palestinians. (John 3:16)
Jesus taught us to "love your neighbor as you love yourself". Remember, in the end, we will be judged by God, so lets do what is right because God sees everything. Amen
Doesn't appear out of the blue! Come on heels of Russian Presidential elections . Which raises doubts about it's timing . Possible meant to disrupt elections and target Putins elections which has drawn open dissent and dismay from West . So the attack for some reason got delayed when meant to be timed earlier. Connect open remarks and threat by Vic Nuland to destabilize Russia
Another perfect lies and propaganda, now they're looking for scapegoat and blame 1 religion as usual. Too cliché and very disgusting.
US and UK gave official announcement on March 7th for all their citizens in Moscow not to go to big public events and concerts. Officials probably had some information's that something is preparing but obviously not what and when. Condolences to all the victims.
Putin znowu wysadza swoich bez skrupułów. Robił już to wielokrotnie aby znaleźć następnego wyimaginowanego wroga narodu rosyjskiego. Smutny terrorysta.
Just innocent folks wanting to have a nice evening, Always it is innocent that blood flows. Pray for these families.
Why civilians again? These cowards should go after the politicians…..
If you're going do something at least have the decency to go after the people responsible!
Sending love to the victims and families from England!
The terrorist attack was organized by the MI6 British special services
something that is impossible for the United States to give a statement about the invasion of Russia, that is its enemy and how will you know about the incident. Islamic state does not have any supply with the country of Russia, how can they attack Russia. That is a pure plan of America and its puppets. maybe they have seen that they did not succeed in destroying the election, they have seen that they only use methods to kill innocent people. This behavior of every attack to insinuate Muslims should be stopped now. Terrorism is done by America and the bdio that creates terrorist groups and approves aid and then they are the ones who speak badly to convince the world that
The terrorist attack was organized by the MI6 British special services, through the mediation of the Zelensky regime. Each of those mentioned will be responsible for this. Terrorists have already been caught on their way to Ukraine
If RUSSIA are saying its UKRAINE its UKRAINE…why is everyone shifting the blame to ISIS…?
When the politicians can't get along the innocent pay the price, regardless of which country you live in. So sad.
It's unacceptable to kill innocent people regardlessly of their religious beliefs geographic location ethnicity, tribe color whatever it may be. We need peace and safety in this world. A wrong is a wrong and two wrongs doesn't make a right. Our prayers goes to the affected families .
Let us seek God while we can still find him, repent and accept the opportunity for salvation through Jesus Christ, the son of God who died crucified to pay for our sins and rose again on the third day, renounce your worldly passions.
Because the kingdom of heaven is near and God has not forgotten his promise as many think, but is patient so that everyone comes to repentance while there is still time✝️
МИ-6 устроила эту диверсию и ЦРУ – убийцы россиян !
Garbage
FREE Judaism and Christianity, from the Islamic-Jihad occupation now! 🇮🇱 🇮🇱 🇮🇱
One has to wonder if this 'attack' in Russia was some sort of Gleiwitz incident, orchestrated by Putin and Company. They seemed awful quick to try and link Ukraine to the attack. It wouldn't be stretch the imagination see this or a Reichstag fire like incident perpetrated by the Kremlin to justify upping their attacks on Ukraine.
Why do people keep insisting on calling them 'ISIS'?!! ISIS was the Egyptian goddess of healing and magic! And also, stop calling them 'Islamic State'. Where is their 'state'?
They must inspired by Christopher Nolan’s movie TENET.
The criminals were caught at the border with Ukraine, where they abandoned the car and tried to cross the border through the forest into Ukraine. I think this more than explains who the customer was and who they worked for! And a couple of days ago, Mr. Budanov, the Minister of Ukraine, said that "we are ready to repeat the fireworks in Russia." I think it is already clear to everyone that these are hired killers by Ukraine.
These criminals were caught on the border with Ukraine, they abandoned a car in the forest and tried to cross into Ukraine. In Ukraine, the defense minister gave an interview after the terrorist attack and said, "we really like fireworks in Russia, we are ready to repeat it.". What is he ready to repeat? During the interrogation, the criminals confirmed that they were hired by the special services from Ukraine. Now think about what kind of country Ukraine is that hires criminals to stage terrorist attacks.
Whatever!!! The mainstream media CAN'T lie to us anymore…. This attack was organised and perpetrated by the us's gov and Ukraine's puppets …. Their coverup Isis, which was created by the us's gov to wash its own hands in the first place .. ..
US could be reason behind this shootings
Why did nearby Russian emergency response take over 90 minutes to respond and Putin ignore western warning of imminent attack on a concert? When will Russians realize that Putin is a street thug who robbed them blind and murdered all there brave political alternatives to his state manipulated authoritarian rule. If you love your dear leader you may be brain washed North Korean type.
This reminds me of the opening scene of Tenet.
