Russia will track down masterminds of Moscow terrorist attack – Putin

The Russian security agencies are going to get the mastermind behind the terrorist attack on Moscow’s Crocus City concert hall, Russian President Vladimir Putin has said.

It’s crucial to establish not only the direct perpetrators of the “bloody terrorist attack” which took place on March 22, but also all the links in the chain leading to its final beneficiaries, Putin said during a meeting with the leadership of Russia’s Interior Ministry on Tuesday.

“We will definitely get them,” the president said of the masterminds of the Crocus City Hall massacre, in which 144 people were killed and more than 550 injured.

Mercenary terrorist attacks are “a weapon that is being used against Russia,” but those who resort to it must understand that it is a “double-edged weapon,” he stressed.

There are “no reliable agents” in the circle of people who are ready to execute such crimes, Putin said. “They’re doing anything for money, not guided by any religious or political considerations, only financial ones,” he explained, adding that “any information can be easily bought and sold” in such a market.
