A poster supposedly from the Islamic State (IS) group has surfaced on social media, raising concerns about potential assaults on Russia. This comes shortly after the Islamist group claimed responsibility for storming a concert center in Moscow. The poster, circulated by Iranian media, references Al Azaim, a publicity network of IS-Khorasan, according to screenshots shared by different users, including Ukrainian inner affairs advisor Anton Gerashchenko.
It has gathered noteworthy attention on Russian Telegram channels as well. In any case, the legitimacy of this data remains unconfirmed, and Newsweek has reached out to the Kremlin for clarification. IS-Khorasan, which originated in Afghanistan in late 2014, has stated its involvement in the recent assault on the Crocus Center in Moscow, resulting in the awful loss of at least 137 lives.
Four suspects from Tajikistan as of now face terror charges, all allegedly pleading guilty. Reports show they showed up in court with signs of physical mishandling, starting outrage among militants. The poster purportedly debilitates and encourages assaults on Russia in protest against the treatment of IS individuals, warning against underestimating their capabilities for countering. During the unfurling situation, the Russian government has abstained from endorsing the IS claim, emphasizing the need for careful examination. This improvement happens amid prior unfounded allegations by Russian authorities linking Ukrainian involvement in the slaughter, underscoring the complexity and gravity of the situation.
