The CIA has been pulling these kinds of mass terror, and training untold thousands around the world to do it since the 50's. The CIA hasn't been part of the WEST Mcguyver has been thinking about since even Eisenhower regretted not tearing them a new one and dispersing them to the ten winds. 2014 Maidan attacks in Ukraine? Vegas? Twin Towers? OKC?

Moscow Theater Attack: Preliminary Assessment
(Long form)
BLUF:
On the evening of March 22, an explosion and subsequent shooting occurred at a concert hall in the Moscow region. The attack has so far resulted in at least 40 fatalities and left over 100 individuals wounded.
The assailants, reportedly dressed in camouflage uniforms, opened fire on the audience and set off an inferno in the theater. Following the attack, several individuals were detained, including some from the theater staff. Notably, one of the individuals detained is reportedly from the Republic of Ingushetia, located in the North Caucasus.
In the aftermath of the attack, Ukrainian officials have issued statements denying any involvement.
Unconfirmed:
Most recently, ISIS has reportedly taken credit for the attack.
Assessment:
The potential involvement of an individual from the Republic of Ingushetia is significant, given the recent attacks earlier this month on Russian security forces in the region. People also described men who looked to be from the region as the terrorists.
The region has a history of insurgency, and the current situation could potentially indicate a resurgence of these elements.
The ISIS-k connection to the North Caucasus and the surrounding region is not a weak one, as more people left that region to join the group than any other in the world.
In regards to Ukraine's potential involvement, Ukrainian officials have firmly stated that they had no hand in the attacks. Given the current geopolitical climate and the statements from Ukrainian officials, it seems unlikely that Ukraine would carry out such an attack at this time.

The President of the Russian Federation noted the intention to intimidate, destabilize Russian society.
MOSCOW, 19 March. /TASS/. Russian President Vladimir Putin called the statements used in the West on the possibility of terrorist attacks in the Russian Federation.

Clash Report
@clashreport
- Why did you shoot people?
- For money, half a million rubles.
Moscow attacker:
"They told me to go and kill people, no matter what kind."
The attacker says he was contacted by a certain “assistant to the preacher,” whom the militant listened to on social networks.
The detainee was offered 500 thousand rubles to kill as many people as possible.
The place was named anonymously via Telegram, the weapon from the cache was handed over by the person who ordered the terrorist attack.
The terrorist in the video managed to receive 250 thousand rubles before the attack.

Because "we" don't hate them, we maintain normal diplomatic ties with them, many Americans live in Russia, and many more (in gov't and out) have friends, family and businesses in Russia. Frankly, nobody worth their oxygen would ever want to see something like this attack happen to the Russian people.

(AFP) — Russia on Saturday said it had arrested 11 people — including four gunmen — over the attack on a Moscow concert hall claimed by the Islamic State, as the death toll rose to 115.
Russian President Vladimir Putin was yet to comment publicly on the attack and Moscow has not addressed the Islamic State’s claim of responsibility, even as some lawmakers pointed to a possible Ukraine connection.
Camouflaged gunmen opened fire at the packed Crocus City Hall in Moscow’s northern suburb of Krasnogorsk on Friday evening ahead of a concert by Soviet-era rock band Piknik in the deadliest attack in Russia for at least a decade.
Russia’s FSB security service said some of the perpetrators had fled towards the Russia-Ukraine border, adding that the assailants had “appropriate contacts” in the country.
It did not provide further details.
Some Russian lawmakers also pointed to Kyiv, without providing evidence.
“The main interested party could most likely be Ukraine and its patrons … we can’t rule it out,” said senior Russian MP Andrey Kartapolov.
Ukraine, which has been facing a Russian military offensive for the past two years, had “nothing to do” with the attack, according to a statement by presidential aide Mykhailo Podolyak on Telegram.
The Kremlin said the head of the FSB security service had informed President Vladimir Putin about the arrests, while authorities warned the number of fatalities was set to keep rising, with more than 100 still hospitalised and a search of the burnt-out venue ongoing.
“FSB Director Alexander Bortnikov reported to the president on the detention of 11 people, including four terrorists involved in the terrorist attack at Crocus City Hall,” it said.
Putin himself has not made any public remarks or been seen in public in the more than 12 hours since the attack.
The Kremlin said he was being kept constantly informed and a government official said he had wished a speedy recovery to the victims.
Russia’s Investigative Committee, which probes major crimes, said rescue workers were still working on site, pulling bodies from the building.
“The emergency services have found more bodies while removing the rubble. The death toll now stands at 115 people,” it said in a statement on Telegram.
The number of fatalities was likely to rise further, as the governor of the Moscow region said rescuers would continue to scour the site for “several days.”
Investigators said people died both from gunshot wounds and from smoke inhalation after a fire engulfed the 6,000-seater venue.
“The terrorists used a flammable liquid to set fire to the concert hall’s premises, where spectators were located, including wounded,” the Investigative Committee said.
Flames had quickly spread through the venue on Friday after reports of the mass shooting, with screaming concert-goers rushing to emergency exits.
Some filmed the gunmen from the upper floors as they appeared to methodically walk through the stalls shooting people, footage shared on social media showed.
The Islamic State group claimed responsibility on Friday, saying its fighters attacked “a large gathering” on Moscow’s outskirts and “retreated to their bases safely”.
Russian authorities have called it a “terrorist attack”, but have not commented on the Islamic State’s claim.
Some 107 people were still in hospital on Saturday morning, according to Russia’s Emergency Situations Ministry.
Russian Telegram channels, including Baza which is close to the security services, and a lawmaker said some of the suspects were from the central Asian nation of Tajikistan.
In a statement, Tajikistan’s foreign affairs ministry said it had not received any information from Moscow about the involvement of its citizens.
In Moscow, residents formed long queues in the Saturday morning rain to donate blood, according to videos posted by state media outlets.
Memorial posters featuring a single candle replaced advertising billboards at some Moscow bus stops, the RIA Novosti state agency reported.
Major events were cancelled across the country, including a friendly football match between Russia and Paraguay set to take place in Moscow on Monday.
Statements of condemnation from world leaders continued to roll in.
On Saturday, a spokesperson for Afghanistan’s foreign ministry said the Taliban “condemns in the strongest terms the recent terrorist attack in Moscow, Russia … and considers it a blatant violation of all human standards.”
Attention is also being focused on Russia’s powerful intelligence services in the wake of the attack.
Just three days before, Putin had publicly dismissed Western warnings of an imminent attack in Moscow as propaganda designed to scare Russian citizens.
On 7 March, the US embassy in Russia had issued a security alert saying it was “monitoring reports that extremists have imminent plans to target large gatherings in Moscow, to include concerts.”
Washington said it had directly warned Russian authorities about a “planned terrorist attack” possibly targeting “large gatherings” in Moscow.
The United States had “shared this information with Russian authorities,” National Security Council spokeswoman Adrienne Watson said.
But speaking to FSB chiefs last Tuesday, Putin said: “Recent provocative statements by a number of official Westerns structures about the possibility of terrorist attacks in Russia … resembles outright blackmail and an intention to intimidate and destabilise our society.”
Earlier in March, the FSB said it had killed Islamic State militants who were planning an attack on a Moscow synagogue.
Over recent weeks the agency has announced on an almost daily basis the arrest of several pro-Ukrainian saboteurs it said were plotting attacks on Russian military infrastructure.

From a prior post!
On 7 March, the US embassy in Russia had issued a security alert saying it was “monitoring reports that extremists have imminent plans to target large gatherings in Moscow, to include concerts.”
Washington said it had directly warned Russian authorities about a “planned terrorist attack” possibly targeting “large gatherings” in Moscow.
Our intelligence agency's found this info and warned Russia, but after 3 years there is no evidence of the Biden crime family corruption. Because they, the corrupt agencies, are part of the plan and coverup! What a bunch of lying traitors!

Victoria Nuland - February 22, 2024:
"And as I said in Kyiv three weeks ago, this supplemental funding will ensure Putin faces some nasty surprises on the battlefield this year."
"That said, even just in the last three, four, five months, Ukraine has had significant successes. Most of them have been in the asymmetric realm, the damage they’ve been able to do to the Black Sea fleet, surprise attacks in places where the Russians weren’t expecting them"

Housemate points out that you have only two choices: to flee Russia from Moscow and have any hope of getting out of there. Ukraine or Luthanina. Those are the only two borders where there are people that "hate Russians [the government]." Since Luthanina is in NATO, that would be an unlike place for terrorists not associated with NATO to run to (which doesn't discount hidden fingers like the CIA but does suggest nothing official).
She also pointed out that they probably thought getting lost in a war zone would be easier than in a peaceful country. So, trying for the 600-mile dash to the Ukrainian border makes sense.
That doesn't mean that Ukraine (the government) had anything to do with this (though some of their Syrian mercs might), but it doesn't mean they didn't have anything.
Big news in Europe this morning is all over the map. My Housemate also pointed out that this doesn't fit the Ukrainian pattern at the moment. She said, "Ukraine is having far too much fun using drones to blow up German Petrol (oil) production facilities. They don't need to send guys in camo with machine guns to kill civilians"
Again, doesn't mean they didn't do it, just makes them not the first guess for a sponsor.
