ISIS shares video of gunman carrying out deadly Moscow concert attack

Paris:

A video apparently shot by the gunman who carried out a deadly attack on a Moscow concert hall has been posted on a social media account commonly used by the jihadist group Islamic State (IS), according to the SITE intelligence group.

The minute-and-a-half-long video shows several people with blurred faces and slurred voices, holding assault rifles and knives.

They appear to be the halls of the Crocus Town Hall concert venue in Krasnogorsk, northwest of the Russian capital.

The attackers fired several rounds, numerous lifeless bodies were scattered around and fire could be seen starting in the background.

The video appeared on a Telegram account that, according to the SITE monitoring group, belongs to IS news arm Amaq.

IS claimed responsibility for the attack late Friday, which killed at least 133 people.

It was the deadliest attack claimed by the jihadist group on European soil.

According to the Kremlin, 11 people have been arrested. They included four suspected attackers who were traveling to Ukraine, according to Moscow.

Neither President Vladimir Putin nor the Security Service (FSB) blamed the jihadist group. Kyiv vehemently denies any involvement.

Margarita Simonyan, head of media for state-run RT, released two videos of the interrogation of two handcuffed suspects. They both admitted to the attack but did not say who organized it.

AFP was unable to confirm the authenticity of the video.
