"Russian FSB's Video of Crocus City Hall Interrogation Raises Tensions Amid Russia-Ukraine Conflict"

The Russian FSB has released new video footage of the interrogation of the suspects in the Crocus City Hall terrorist attack, in which the suspects claim they were instructed by a person named Sayfullo and planned to flee to Ukraine after the attack. The footage shows signs of torture on the suspects, and Channel One also reported that Russia's intelligence services have determined that the territory around the Ukrainian border villages of Chuikivka and Sopych was demined in preparation for the attackers to cross the border, although this has not been independently confirmed.

"U.S. Intelligence Warns Russia of Specific Target in Moscow Terror Alert"

The U.S. intelligence warned Russia about a potential Islamic State terrorist attack on Crocus City Hall near Moscow, specifying the venue but not the timing. Despite the warning, gunmen attacked the hall on March 22, killing 144 people. Russia charged four men from Tajikistan for the massacre, but President Putin and other officials baselessly suggested Ukraine's involvement.

"U.S. Warned Russia of Specific Crocus City Hall Attack Target"

The U.S. government warned Russian officials more than two weeks in advance that Crocus City Hall, a popular concert venue, was a potential target for a terrorist attack, contradicting Moscow's claims that the warnings were too general. The attack, claimed by the Islamic State, resulted in the deaths of over 140 people. Despite the warning, Russian authorities failed to adequately protect the venue, raising questions about their response. The U.S. also shared terrorism information with Iran, and there are indications that the Russian government initially took the warning seriously, but security measures were not sustained. Putin has attempted to shift blame to Ukraine and dismissed terrorism warnings from the West.
