According to the SITE Intelligence Group, a video purportedly captured by the gunmen responsible for the fatal assault on a Moscow music hall has been shared on social media platforms frequently utilized by the terrorist organization Islamic State (IS).
The minute and a half-long video features multiple people brandishing knives and assault guns while having distorted faces and voices.
These seem to be the lobby of Krasnogorsk’s Crocus City Hall, a performance venue located northwest of Moscow in Russia.
The attackers fire several bursts of gunfire, numerous inert bodies are strewn about and a fire can be seen starting in the background.
Neither President Vladimir Putin nor the security services (FSB) have accused the jihadist group. Kiev has firmly denied any involvement.
The head of the state-run RT media outlet, Margarita Simonyan, posted two videos of interrogations of two handcuffed suspects. They both admitted to the attack but did not say who had organised it.
AFP was unable to confirm the veracity of the videos.
