Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.
[Regnum] Mohammad Sharifullah, accused of organizing the explosion at the Kabul airport, who was detained by American law enforcement, admitted that he instructed several people who were preparing a terrorist attack at the Crocus City Hall concert hall near Moscow. This was stated by the US Department of Justice.

According to investigators, Sharifullah organized the terrorist attack on August 26, 2021, at the Kabul airport, which killed 13 American soldiers and about 160 civilians. During interrogation, he also said that on behalf of ISIS (a terrorist organization whose activities are banned in the Russian Federation), he shared instructions on how to use weapons with Islamists who were preparing an attack on Crocus.

"Sharifullah also acknowledged that he recognized two of the four militants detained [in Russia] as those he had previously instructed," the U.S. Justice Department reported on its website on March 5.

As reported by Regnum news agency, terrorists attacked Crocus City Hall on March 22, 2024. They shot at people with machine guns and set the building on fire. As a result of the terrorist attack, 144 people were killed and another 551 were injured. The son of the owner of Crocus Group, Emin Agalarov, said that the approximate damage from the terrorist attack in Crocus amounted to 150-200 million dollars.

FSB Director Alexander Bortnikov stated that the Security Service of Ukraine was involved in the terrorist attack at Crocus. He advocated recognizing this agency as a terrorist organization.

On March 3, the Chairman of the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation, Alexander Bastrykin, announced the completion of the investigation into the terrorist attack in the concert hall. He emphasized that the investigators completed their work in less than a year. The materials were handed over to the accused and their lawyers for review.
