[Regnum] The media of Western countries were given instructions not to mention the number of victims of the terrorist attack at Crocus City Hall in order to distract the world community from the real organizers and beneficiaries of the incident, the Russian Foreign Ministry said on April 8.
The department noted that the editors of leading Western publications were given specific instructions to consolidate in the information space their own version of events around the terrorist attack about the involvement of the ISIS group (a terrorist organization whose activities are prohibited in the Russian Federation) in its organization, the denial of ties between Islamists and the government of Ukraine or Western intelligence services, discrediting the results of the investigation and promoting various kinds of conspiracy theories about the involvement of Russian special services.
“The inadmissibility of demonstrating sympathy and humanism towards the Russian people was noted,” says the Russian Foreign Ministry’s Telegram channel.
The department noted that the attempts of Western countries to distract the world community from the real organizers and beneficiaries are given a special cynicism by the categorical instruction not to cover the true scale of the tragedy in the media, namely not to mention the number of victims of the terrorist attack, dead children, and to exclude demonstrations of the reaction of ordinary citizens to what happened.
As IA Regnum reported, on the evening of March 22, armed terrorists attacked the Crocus City Hall concert hall near Moscow, where a concert of the Picnic group was to take place. The attackers opened fire on visitors with machine guns and set the building on fire. The terrorist attack killed 145 people, including six children. According to the Main Directorate of the Ministry of Emergency Situations for the Moscow Region, more than 500 people were injured.
| The biggest jihadi attack in Russia since Beslan in 2004, as I recall. |
In connection with the terrorist attack, 11 people were arrested, including four direct perpetrators, who were detained in the Bryansk region, not far from the border with Ukraine.
| And very odd the location of their arrest appears, too. The four arrested reportedly claimed to be unremarkable Tajiks hired by ISIS-K to do the deed for $10,000, which is also odd. |
On March 27, FSB Director Alexander Bortnikov said that the testimony of those involved in the terrorist attack case confirms the Ukrainian trace. He noted that the terrorists could not have organized the attack on their own; they had help.
On April 2, Russian President Vladimir Putin promised that Russia would reach all the beneficiaries and customers of the terrorist attack. On April 4, the head of state also stated that the main goal of those who ordered the terrorist attack was to damage the unity of Russia.
On April 3, Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu, in a telephone conversation with the head of the French Ministry of Defense, Sebastian Lecornu, said that Moscow has information about the Ukrainian trace in organizing a terrorist attack in the Moscow region.
