https://www.yahoo.com/news/islamic-state-group-claims-responsibility-for-moscow-mass-shooting-that-left-dozens-dead-heres-what-we-know-201016306.html

The Islamic State group claimed responsibility for Friday's mass shooting at a popular concert hall on the outskirts of Moscow that left dozens dead an injured more than 100 others, the Associated Press reported.
ISIS, which the United States has designated as a terrorist group, said in a message posted Friday night to the Telegram messaging app that it had attacked a large gathering on the outskirts of the Russian capital Moscow," and that the attackers had "retreated to their bases safely," according to the Moscow Times. Those claims could not be independently verified, however.

The plot thickens? What's the incentive here?

To kill heretics*

*Anyone who isn't a member of ISIS is a heretic

That doesn't really answer anything. Why Moscow, why now? They have to go out of their way to do this.

Not really that far out of their way. These terrorists were probably recruited in or near Russia over the Internet. Not sent over from Iraq.

Revenge. Russia supports Syria and ISIS wants revenge. Plus they also likely feel Russia is weaker due to its war with Ukraine.

you know Russia's reputation in the middle east is just about as bad as the US's, right?

if Putin is claiming all former soviet territory to be Russia's, he's also claiming responsibility for all the atrocities in the regions

I feel like ISIS claims credit for anything. Someone sneezes at an inconvenient moment? ISIS did it.

There haven't been a particularly significant number of cases where ISIS have claimed responsibility but then been found to not actually be responsible.

People forget that they invaded Afghanistan two decades before the US did. Or conveniently ignore it.

I was aware, but this seems well outside of their usual operations for the past few years, at least, unless I'm missing some significant factor. Like "oh well we're done being mad at the west and our closest neighbors, it's time for Russia now"

I hate to say it, but in America, I'd lean towards people just straight up not knowing about it.

Those terrorists were likely paid by some wealthy elite. The world is disgusted.

They were paid to commit an act of terror where they will most likely die?

Iron Man 3's plot.

I wonder if it's part of the reason why people hate IM3

This. It was likely over Russian actions in Syria.

Like clockwork, Russia blaming Ukraine

Why would Tajik nationals flee to Ukraine?
