Have there actually been any demands publicized over ISIS attacks in Moscow? Isn't it weird to launch a major operation and not make it clear what
they want to achieve?

There are alot of things that just don't add up. I mean for groups like ISIS it is just about creating chaos and terror and killing "infidels".
But the foot soldiers are also fanatics and well trained and see themselves as holy warriors and becoming a martyr is part of the entire point.
But these people appear to have been paid....which is really weird, they were pretty amateurish and apparently the fire killed most of the victims not the gunmen.
Post soviet Russia has a bad track record with fire safety so it is actually quite possible this would have been the same result if it had just been an arson.
Also they fled towards Ukraine. Which however you feel about either country it is really weird that criminals would flee towards a warzone unless they had contacts in said area.
They also surrendered which is also a huge red flag. Again with Islamic terrorists martyrdom is the point so this also doesn't add up.

@whowasthatmaskedman I'm not massive into conspiracies but there's parts of this that don't add up. Seems like bait to get Russia into Afghanistan and little else

@plungesponge I still think we need to know who the victims were. Its a great excuse to bump off a few troublemakers..😷

@whowasthatmaskedman My sense is the victims are just random people. And it seems like whoever was behind this is linked to Ukraine. Whether it is something official from the government is another matter. Kyrilo Budanov is a nutjob and Ukraine has already set off car bombs in Moscow so this is not actually a huge leap.
That being said the Ukrainian far right also see Islamic extremists as allies with a common enemy in Russia. Dimitry Yarosh head of Right Sector once gave a public statement in support of Doku Umarov AKA the Bin Laden of Russia and encouraged him to declare Jihad on Russia. This was about 2013.
So it could also be some crazies from that camp too.
