ISIS claims responsibility for Moscow terrorist attack

The rapidly growing threat posed by the Islamic State-Khorasan Province, the jihadi terrorist group’s Afghanistan affiliate better known as ISIS-K, has linked the U.S. with some of its most bitter enemies, including Russia, Iran and even Afghanistan’s ruling Taliban regime. Each of those actors has been targeted by either direct, deadly attacks from ISIS-K or, in Moscow’s case, seems to have narrowly avoided disaster on multiple occasions.

The U.S. Embassy in Moscow on March 8 warned of an “imminent” extremist attack in Russia and said American citizens may be in danger.

One day earlier, Russian authorities said they killed Islamic State militants who were plotting a terrorist attack on a Moscow synagogue.

The Washington Times which is a conservative newspaper and not very pro-Ukraine ran this story yesterday. If this was ISIS then it is not the first time that ISIS-K has targeted Russia.
