[Regnum] Four defendants in the criminal case on the terrorist attack in the Moscow region's Crocus City Hall were members of the Vilayat Khorasan group
…we generally call it ISIS-K, the branch based in Afghanistan…
(a terrorist organization whose activities are banned in the Russian Federation), according to court documents.
The investigation has already brought charges against them in a separate criminal case.
“A case has also been opened against four defendants for their participation in the activities of the banned terrorist group Vilayat Khorasan,” REN TV cites court documents.
It is noted that all four had previously been transported from Dagestan to Moscow. According to the investigation, the militants were engaged in the manufacture of a homemade explosive device and weapons.
The case also involves a number of other unidentified individuals. Vilayat Khorasan is part of another international organization, the Islamic State (a terrorist organization banned in the Russian Federation).

“Our new funding will ensure civilians receive much-needed assistance during this very difficult time.
“I am extremely concerned by the constant escalation of tensions in the Middle East. All parties must do their utmost to protect the lives of innocent civilians.”
The latest EU aid package comes on top of 10 million euros announced over the weekend, taking the bloc’s humanitarian assistance for Lebanon to over 100 million euros this year.
