It's not about Putin.

On Friday, 22 March, in an attack on "Crocus City Hall, on the outskirts of Moscow - 20km (12 miles) from the Kremlin," "Video showed at least four people shooting randomly before proceeding to the concert hall itself and opening fire there." "By Sunday afternoon, at least 137 had been confirmed dead." "In addition to those killed, at least 60 remain in serious condition and authorities have warned more could die." BBC. "Taking responsibility for one of the worst terror attacks in Russia, the Islamic State Khorasan (ISIS-K) said that the mass shooting at the Moscow concert hall falls within the 'context of a raging war between Islamic State and countries fighting Islam'." "The terror organisation emerged in late 2014," and "has been named after an old term for the region that included parts of Iran, Turkmenistan and Afghanistan." Mint. "IS-K, believed to be operating out of Afghanistan" "has staged several attacks in Afghanistan as well as Pakistan. In January, it bombed the commemoration ceremony of Iranian General Qassem Soleimani in Kerman, causing a high number of casualties." Dawn.

"Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu described the reports as 'absolutely false'." BBC. So, did the US learn of the Moscow attack from online chatter or because some friends in Ukraine provided logistics support and were ready to assist in the escape? The US media is quick to use the tragic deaths of so many innocent people to score points against Putin. "Terrorist attack exposes vulnerabilities of Putin's regime. WP. "Appalling Moscow terror attack is a blow to Putin, who promised Russia security." CNN. "Deadly Moscow Attack Shatters Putin's Security Promise to Russians." NYT. If anything can be lower than the gutter press then this is it. However, we will not laugh at the CIA for the 9/11 attacks in the US (Britannica). There is nothing more innocent than enjoying a concert but "the Darul Uloom at Deoband in northern India" "has ruled that 'the most important reason' why music is forbidden in Islam 'is that the Quran and Hadith have forbidden it'."
