Major Terror Attack In Moscow

Developing… Hundreds if not Thousands of Russian Police Officers, Soldiers, Firefighters, and Paramedics have now arrived at the Crocus Concert Hall in the Capital of Moscow in Response to the Initial Terrorist Attack and the Massive Fire which appears to have resulted from the Attack.

Continuing updates here and at RT. (h/t marc in calgary and Claude)

@KonstantinKisin Unofficial Russian sources are reporting that a group of Islamic terrorists have killed up to 40 people in a concert hall in Russia. This will bring back painful memories of the Nord Ost hostage siege. ISIS has reportedly taken responsibility.

The usual 48 hour caution applies here.

  1. Putins excuse to escalate. The movie theater attack by “Chechens” all over again.

      1. You’re right, the Russian population is very brainwashed. They actually think God is on their side. Beyond mental illness.

        1. More like they think they can bribe god into being on their side with their clownish rituals and “holy” relics.

        2. Who’s side do you think God is on? I think the Russians have a strong case for their claim. For those who believe in prophecy, Edgar Cayce predicted that Russia would save humanity. They would need God to do that.

          1. Even though I thought you had IQ around 50, I didn’t realise you were THAT stupid.

          2. It’s okay LindaL to voice anything your hearts desire without being belittled by negativity.
            Mother Nature tends to sort out the population too.
            Narrow minded people tend to be terrible to be around anyways.

            Would you care for a Sweet Mixed Pickle my dear?

    1. Yep, exactly that.

      Whip them into frenzy, SOP, played over and over again.

    2. I wonder if russians are planning to gas the hostages again, like they did the last time?

    1. “My rule, wait 48 hours before speculating…”

      Definitely. Reportedly the terrorists all had beards, which leads many to immediately accuse Muslims, but we just don’t have enough concrete evidence yet to make that determination.

  2. Could this be the event (postponed) that western governments warned their citizens about (avoid large gatherings, etc)?

    I condemn all attacks deliberately targeting civilians, whether by military, terrorist or FSB.

  3. Zelensky doesn’t have brains or balls for this.
    CIA and/or NATO my guess

    1. What made you think the CAT scans you’ve been given belonged to Zelensky??

      I’d sure as hell love to see old Poo declaring it was “CIA and/or NATO” and then attacking the US. His Black Arse (Sea) Fleet is now hiding from Ukraine in Russian territorial waters, wonder where the rest of his Navy would hide from the USA? Probably underwater.

  4. Looks like this sort of thing is becoming the new weapon of choice for crappy failed states and lunatic hate groups. We’ve got a bunch of those here now, thanks to Shiny Pony importing them all wholesale.

    I do not think this is going to end well for anyone, but particularly not for big government gun banners. I know the Liberals can’t be reached by Reality anymore, but I do wonder if the Poilievre Conservatives are paying attention.

    October 7th, gun control. 1300+ lost. March 22nd, gun control. We don’t know how many lost yet, from the pictures at least 20. Probably more like a hundred or so.

    Are you boys seeing this? Because we are. Us working peons out here, we haz internet too. We can see what’s up.

    Just a friendly reminder from ol’ Uncle Phantom that disarming the population so the demons can get them is not what conservatives do.

    1. “Looks like this sort of thing is becoming the new weapon of choice for crappy failed states and lunatic hate groups. We’ve got a bunch of those here now, thanks to Shiny Pony importing them all wholesale.”

      With apologies to Matthew:
      Why are ye fearful, O ye of little faith? St. turdo and his disciples have targeted all legal gun owners, so there will be a great calm.

      1. Oh, of course. Huddle down, ye masses. Cower, and all will be well.

        Like I said, you can’t talk to Liberals. There are none so blind as those whose paycheck depends on them not seeing.

  5. One terririst captured in Moscow is latest report.
    Muslim terrorists previously attacked concerts in Paris, Manchester, Moscow and Israel.

    1. Advice here to wait is best. But this point matters, deliberately targeting civilians.

  6. Can somebody please think about the russians?
    After repeated russian terrorist attacks for more than two years I fail to see why this is significant.

      1. That is not what I said. I don’t care if they did had it coming just like they did not care when Kyiv was attacked yesterday in another wave of terrorist attacks. Just like they did not care when rescuers in Odessa were deliberately targeted few days ago. And if any of the concert goers supported Pootin’s genocide then by all means, they are getting their just deserts.

          1. “So, that’s what you said.”

            It obviously is, but don’t be surprised that he doesn’t understand that. After all, you’re talking to a guy who first labelled every Russian military action as a ‘genocide’…and now switches to calling them ‘terrorist attacks’ instead. Even for a Simpleton ™, he’s obtuse…

          2. Well, he said they were “getting their just desserts”. Clearly that’s a whole world away from them “having it coming”. Why, the linguistic chasm is unbridgeable, really. Gosh, I hope I never distort someone’s words so monstrously, I don’t know how I’d live with my conscience.

          3. “…And if any of the concert goers supported …”

            See the word “if”? It is a conditional statement.

    1. Are you nuts? It’s significant because more than 50 civilians died and an equal plus numbered were injured.

  7. It has the “earmarks” of a Hamas operation whose specialty is cowardly attacks on unarmed civilians.
    Of course, lots of other candidates, not limited to other Islamist idiots, a Ukrainian or a Putin false flag.

    1. … and given russian ties to Hamas this looks more and more like an FSB provocation.

    1. Oliver Alexander @OAlexanderDK
      The “Ukrainian licence plate” on your “suspicious white van” is from Belarus.

      Someone just decided to blur out the left side.

      https://twitter.com/OAlexanderDK/status/1771274967218319814

      Readers added context
      Current Ukrainian plates include a two-letter regional prefix followed by 4 digits then a two-letter serial suffix.
      This plate appears to follow the Belarus system, which is four numerals, followed by two letters, a hyphen and one numeral.

  8. “You must be a proud graduate from Cathy Neuman School of Argument?”

    The answer for that must depend on whether she’s Ukrainian or Russian, I guess.

  9. The usual 48 hour rule should apply but Russia does have a very large Muslim minority – roughly 10 to 15% of their population is Muslim, and they’ve been receiving migration from the post-Soviet islamic republics of Central Asia ever since the break-up of the Soviet Union.

    These are the groups that have carried out attacks like this before, so that’s the way to bet until we see evidence otherwise. These groups are certainly capable of acting on their own, but we should note that many have also been actively fighting with Ukraine, and getting western support and training there. We’d better hope that this doesn’t get traced back to any western-backed operation via Ukraine.

      1. “More on that rumour. ISIS outlet “Al-Amaq” takes responsibility.”

        Yes, and the “suspicious white minibus” also had Belarus license plates, not Ukrainian ones.

        What’s in this for ISIS, though?

  10. Four years ago, I never would have considered it could be the US. Now, it is the first thing that comes to mind. Like the Liberals, the DemoCommies will do anything to hold onto power. Get WWIII started, and use it as an excuse to delay or halt the Election. It won’t surprise me, if the media starts blaming DJT.

    1. Yeah, in the past I’d have been confident concluding this was just a domestic issue for Russia to deal with, but now we know the west supports jihadist groups in Syria, Yemen and other places and has supported jidaists in Chechnya in the past.

      So now we just have to hope and pray that these idiots don’t have any ties back to us and kick off WW3.

  11. Terrorizing + shooting people willy-nilly, yeah it’s right up Islam alley. But during Ramadan? I thought that all Muslims Ramadan time are focused on fasting all day, and night time on eating. Not shooting.

    1. “Figures. Muslim fighters murder women and children first.”

      And so do russians when they target high raise residential buildings, like throughout last week. The big difference is that mooselimbs at least do not time followup strikes to target the rescuers.

  12. From the RT link;
    “23:30 GMT

    The UN Security Council has issued a statement condemning “in the strongest terms the heinous and cowardly terrorist attack” that took place at the Crocus City Hall outside Moscow on Friday. The statement was shared by Russia’s deputy permanent representative to the UN, Dmitry Polyanskiy.

    Security Council members have expressed “their deepest sympathy” to the victims’ relatives and the Russian people, while wishing a speedy recovery to those injured. They also stressed the need “to hold perpetrators, organizers, financiers and sponsors of these reprehensible acts of terrorism accountable and bring them to justice.”

    Contrast that with the UN response after Oct. 7th.

    1. That is strange of the UN, it’s like they don’t know Hamas and ISIS read from the same islamic texts, it may be that they point at each other and say to each other’s group, “but we’re more devout”

      Which they may be, I mean both of them, in different ways… and the same texts the devout followers read in Canada and which are seen as devout here, the ones settling all over Sweden, the ones landing in Italy and deciding they don’t have to follow western laws. The ones who drove the Armenians into the desert in 1916-17 are at least as devout as the rest of them.

      And… this event was at the Crocus City Hall in 2013, back when the operation was owned by President Donald J. Trump

  13. My advice to any and all Westerners over the coming months: avoid government buildings, airports, shopping malls, avoid military personnel, bases, large public events.

    Who knows how this will play out, but I would not encourage standing in lineups at public events, airport security lines, concerts.

    Because one of two things: ISIS is going for broke, or the Russians are going to retaliate hard by unleashing their proxies in the West. Lots of Hezbollah and Hamas sleaper cells.

    1. Well at least you admit koranimals and Pootin are in bed together, … just like they were when they attacked Israel.

  14. The Religion of Peace strikes again! The Islamic State ( ISIS) claims responsibility! There will be no GUN control in the WEST!
    The Human Race is disgusting—- my sympathies to all the families that lost Love Ones!
