One of those detained during the anti-terrorist operation in Dagestan on March 31 said during an FSB interrogation that he brought weapons from Makhachkala to the Crocus City Hall attackers, Kommersant reports, citing the intelligence service. Earlier it was reported that a cache of weapons was discovered on Dmitrovskoe Shosse in Moscow.
“During the arrest, two Kalashnikov assault rifles and 460 cartridges were found in the apartment. I brought them weapons, those guys who attacked Crocus City Hall. I brought them weapons from Makhachkala to Mytishti,” the detainee said.
The foreign fighters detained yesterday in the southern Russian republic of Dagestan were involved in the financing of the deadly attack on the Crocus City Hall concert hall, Russia’s Federal Security Service (FSS) announced.
On March 28, during investigative actions with one of the suspects of the terrorist act, a cache was discovered on Dmitrovskoe Shosse in Moscow, from where the attackers took out weapons before the attack. On the same day, officers of the traffic police from the Bryansk region at the 157th km of the M-3 “Ukraine” highway found a Kalashnikov assault rifle near the road, which may belong to terrorists. On March 23, the Investigative Committee showed the weapon used by the attackers – an AK-12 (or its civilian version TR3).
On the evening of March 22, gunmen broke into Crocus City Hall outside Moscow, opened fire on people and set fire to the building. The terrorist attack killed 144 people and injured 551. The FSB announced the arrest of 11 people involved in the terrorist attack in the Moscow region, four of whom are the direct perpetrators.
