Update:

There was another explosion and 4 terrorists reportedly escaped.

40 dead, over 100 wounded.

The terrorists have still not been found.

Photos of the suspects

The former owner of the wanted white Renault sold the car a week ago to his wife's brother. On the day of the terrorist attack, he asked to deregister her

“It was my car. When I myself saw these photos [from the scene of events], I was shocked. I do not know what to do. I tried to call my wife’s brother, but he didn’t answer the phone. He said that his friend needed this car. He called me in the evening and asked if I could deregister the car today,” the penultimate owner of Renault, who is wanted in connection with the terrorist attack at Crocus City Hall, told Novaya Gazeta Europe.

*143 dead, 180 injured.

I wonder who the terrorists are. One good bet could be separatists from one of Russia's colonies (ie. "republics" etc. People often don't realize that Russia is still a colonialist state).

Well, separatists or disgruntled vets. Plenty of those to go around – and they're mostly ethnic minorities too so could be a double whammy.

Edit: or a false flag! Wouldn't be Putin's first false flag "terrorist" attack, either

Revenge of the Edit: I forgot about the March 8th US embassy warning about an imminent terrorist attack in Moscow, which could be tied to IS – although the embassy didn't give any further information than "shit's goan go down"

Horrible! I hope this doesn't become a pretext for Russia to go after other countries.

- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
