Russia’s Federal Security Service has issued a statement confirming the arrest of 11 suspects following the Crocus City Hall terror attack on Friday night, four of whom it claims were directly involved in the attack. It claims that the suspects attempted to flee to the Russian-Ukraine border. The FSB said it had informed President Vladimir Putin about the developments.
Leading politicians have accused Ukraine of involvement in the attack, which it denies. The Islamic State has claimed responsibility for the attack without providing any evidence.
Meanwhile, President Vladimir Putin has wished a speedy recovery to the wounded victims of the deadly attack on a Moscow concert hall, Russia’s deputy prime minister said on Saturday after meeting with him.
“The president wished everyone a speedy recovery and conveyed his gratitude to the doctors,” Tatyana Golikova was quoted as saying by Russian news agencies. Putin has yet to comment publicly on the attack.
