| [Daily Mail, where America gets its news] ISIS said: 'To all wild Russians! Stop torturing Islamic State prisoners. Beware! Do not think that we do not have the opportunity to take revenge on you for our captured brothers. 'In Friday's attack, we proved to you that, God willing, the Mujahideen of the Islamic State can punish you for any of your horrors; without this revenge, a lot of blood will remain from the Islamic Ummah. 'Torture of captured Mujahideen in your name and publication of their videos increases your bloodlust for thousands of their brothers. 'This time, let's hit you so hard on the head that future generations, God willing, will remember you and these past pains and wounds will be forgotten. 'Yes! Very heavy, deadly, bloody, stabbing, burning and devastating blows. Wait! Expect a massacre, God willing. Very soon, God willing.' Meanwhile new arrests were made in the case today. A father Isroil Islomov, 62, and his two sons Dilovar and Aminchon, were under anti-terrorism laws as suspects of the Crocus City Hall massacre. They are believed to have sold the Renault used by the gunman to arrive at the venue, and to flee. The Russian Investigative Committee sees them as accomplices of the terrorist who killed 143 people at the concert venue. Dilovar, 24, is believed to be the last owner of the white Renault. His relatives claim he is innocent and voluntarily went to the police when they started looking for him. A statement said: 'With the aim of committing a terrorist act Shamsidin Fariduni involved Aminchon Islomov in the organised group no later than January 2024, and Dilovar Islomov no later than March 11, 2024. 'The investigation is requesting the court to arrest Aminchon Islomov, Dilovar Islomov and another suspect in the criminal case.' The court remanded them until May 22. Russia doesn't appear willing to back down in its treatment of the four men, who slaughtered 137 people at Crocus City Hall on the western outskirts of Moscow on Friday night.' Deputy chairman of Russia's security council Dmitry Medvedev urged security forces to 'kill' everyone who assisted in carrying out the terror attack. Referring to the four men, Medvedev said: 'They were caught. Well done to everyone who caught them. 'Should they be killed? Necessary. And it will be. But it is much more important to kill everyone involved. Everyone, who paid, who sympathised, who helped. Kill them all.' Despite the evidence of torture, dozens of soldiers have been awarded medals for capturing the four terrorists. A Russian general was wheeled out to present medals to army troops from the Leningrad Military District. Lt-Gen Esedulla Abachev 'presented state and departmental awards to the military personnel… who distinguished themselves during the detention of terrorists in the Bryansk region that had participated in the attack on Crocus City Hall'. He 'personally congratulated each one, highly appreciating the accomplishment of the assigned combat missions'. The awards were for 'Courage' and 'Military Distinction'. Medals also went to members of the Akhmat-Russia regiment - loyal to Chechen warlord Ramzan Kadyrov - who were also involved in the operation. They 'distinguished themselves in the search for and neutralisation of particularly dangerous terrorists who had carried out a horrendous terrorist attack in Crocus City Hall.' FSB special forces officers were also involved in detaining the four. Moscow attack suspects' neighbours say one was a violent drunk and another was a successful barber… as terror family of father and sons are hauled into court charged with assisting the 'ISIS' killers Neighbours of the suspected Crocus City Hall killers have revealed that one member of the group was a violent drunk, while another had a budding career as a successful barber. The revelations come as a father and his two sons were hauled in front of Moscow court on suspicion of providing the terrorists with vehicles and logistical support ahead of their slaughter of at least 139 concertgoers. Shamsidin Fariduni, one of four shooters detained by Moscow's security services and the man thought to have recruited the family to aid his nefarious plans, allegedly threatened to attack a dog walker in a drunken fit of rage last year. According to a resident of Podolsk, near Moscow, a drunken Fariduni once nearly ran her over as she was walking her dog, and began screaming at her. The resident, who asked to remain anonymous, told Lenta that the 25-year-old drove up to her and 'began talking right away, asking what the dog's name was'. 'I saw that he was completely drunk, and I answered him. I went around the car to continue walking on the other side and he drove right up to my legs,' she said, adding that Fariduni then began swearing at her and threatened to assault her. The resident claimed she contacted the police to report her concern about Fariduni, a married father-of-one, but said officers never got back to her. By contrast, the youngest terrorist, 19-year-old Muhammadsobir Faizov, was described as a successful barber by neighbours who reported he worked in various high-end salons and had built a group of regular clients in the city of Ivanovo northeast of Moscow. Ivanovo residents living in a five-storey block of flats where Faizov was staying described the teenager as a 'calm' person and a hard worker who often worked seven days a week, but generally kept himself to himself and did not speak Russian fluently. Meanwhile, Yamina Safieva, the owner of one barbershop that employed Faizov, insisted in comments to RT that the teen did not arouse suspicion and was a good worker. But she is now the target of threatening messages after her former employee was arrested in connection with the heinous attack in Moscow. Russian news site Lenta this morning also reported that Faizov appeared to have shown some remorse for the attack, citing a post shared on a private social media profile that read 'I made a mistake, I apologize to everyone Crokys siti Hall'. MailOnline was unable to verify the post. A third shooter, 32-year-old Dalerdzhon Mirzoyev, is said to have been a keen amateur wrestler and often trained at a Mixed Martial Arts gym in the city of Novosibirsk. Mirzoyev, a taxi driver who is believed to have purchased the car used in the attack from a member of the family detained yesterday by Russian authorities, was registered on a temporary visa in Novosibirsk until January but had been living under an expired residency permit since then. '(Mirzoyev) lived with me in the same microdistrict, the Zatulinsky residential area (of Novosibirsk). I also went to the Zeus sports club for MMA,' one anonymous member of the gym told Lenta, before insisting: 'Personally, I didn't know him, of course.' The revelations come as Isroil Islomov, 62, and sons Aminchon and Dilovar appeared in Moscow's Basmanny district court last night, having been arrested on suspicion of helping the shooters orchestrate their deadly attack. All three members of the family from Tajikistan worked as taxi and bus drivers and had a good knowledge of transport routes in and around the venue. Dilovar was named as the latest owner of the white Renault which the terrorists drove to the concert venue before mowing down hundreds of defenceless civilians with automatic weapons. Aminchon, who has seven children from two marriages at the age of just 33, is believed to have been recruited by shooter Fariduni in January and helped the crew to plan their attack. Dilovar, 25, is then said to have been brought into the terrorist fold earlier this month and provided the car the terrorists used to travel to the Crocus City Hall, and subsequently make their ill-fated escape. Both sons are accused of aiding and abetting the terrorists, while father Isroil is being held as a suspect. All three have been detained for two months while investigations continue along with a fourth detainee, Kyrgyz citizen Alisher Kasimov, who was charged with renting an apartment to the men accused of carrying out the attack.
The Kremlin also launched a disinformation campaign targeting the UK, blaming MI6 and other Western intelligence agencies for the Moscow massacre. The Telegraph reported that social media bots had been sharing links to fake websites designed to trick people into believing they were real, established news outlets. According to a report by Meta, Facebook's parent company, EU-sanctioned Russian IT companies National Technologies and Social Design Agency carried out the attack. The leaks come as Vladimir Putin has scrambled to save face by casting fresh doubt on ISIS claiming responsibility for the Moscow concert massacre that killed nearly 140 people, the deadliest attack on the nation's soil in years. ISIS twice claimed responsibility for the attack over the weekend, first posting a selfie taken by the four men, all of whom are Russian citizens, in front of an ISIS flag before posting a 90-second selfie video of the devastating attack from the terrorists' perspective. New footage filed inside the Crocus City Hall venue in Krasnogorsk also emerged, showing people running and cowering behind tables as the gunmen open fire in the main lobby of the building. People can be heard screaming as continuous bullets break through glass doors and mow down victims in what was the deadliest attack on Russia in years. The four suspected terrorists, who have been photographed and named in the Russian media, were seen arriving in an unmarked white van before they entered the concert hall at around 8pm. Fariddun was allegedly seen staking out Crocus City Hall on March 7 when he was pictured at the venue. This coincided with a warning from the US and UK embassies in Moscow about the imminent threat of a strike on a crowded venue. Separate footage has shows the arsenal left behind by the gunmen who staged the bloodbath at the Crocus City Hall that left at least 137 people dead. Officers said they found four sets of combat ammunition, more than 500 rounds of ammunition and 28 magazines at the scene of the massacre. Two Kalashnikov assault rifles were also recovered from the concert hall. Shots were first fired at people waiting in the foyer before the killers made their way to the concert hall area. After shooting at concert-goers the suspected ISIS terrorists set the building on fire, causing the roof to collapse. Islamic State claimed responsibility for the attack and it is thought the men were members of for ISIS-K, an offshoot of the terrorist organisation. The group released a sickening 90-second selfie after the attack that is too graphic for MailOnline to share. The clip, described by the terror group as 'exclusive scenes... of the bloody attack on Christians yesterday in the city of Krasnogorsk in Moscow', begins with one terrorist holding a knife running into the main hall of Crocus City Hall. The man filming the video twice says: 'Bring the machine gun. Kill them and have no mercy on them.' Another man carrying what appears to be a yellow and black machine gun then runs into the hall and begins firing wildly in all directions. The gun appears to match up with images released by Russian authorities of the aftermath of the attack. The gunman filming the sick attack can be heard saying: 'The infidels will be defeated, God willing. God is great. The infidels will be defeated. We went out for the sake of God and to seek His religion.' The four heavily armed men are then seen slowly walking away from the entrance to the main hall. | |
