Tajik National Arrested in U.S. for Supporting ISIS-K, Faces 45 Years in Prison

Moldau: Die haben selbt kaum Streitkräfte und dazu eine sehr starke prorussische politische Fraktion im Land. Da wird es schwer mit handstreichartigen Einmärschen in russisch kontrollierte Gebiete. Vielmehr hätte die Ukraine damals im Frühjahr 2022 in Transnistrien einmarschieren können, als von dort ebenfalls Raketen abgefeuert wurden (und die russischen Truppen dort ja eh feindliche Truppen sind). Die Verwaltung hätte man im Einvernehmen mit Kischinau an Moldau abgeben und die Waffenlager für den eigenen Verteidigungskampf einsetzen können. Hat man aber nicht.
Georgien: Ja, wenn die nicht selbst gerade von einer moskauhörigen Partei regiert werden würden.
Tschetschenien: Ich bin jetzt kein Fachmann, aber meinem Eindruck nach sind die meisten tschetschenischen Islamisten gerade in Syrien (IS, Hajat Tahrir Al-Scham usw.) und Afghanistan (IS-K). Die sekulare Opposition wurde weitgehend aufgerieben. Die Islamisten werden aber schon wahrscheinlich bald zurückkehren und versuchen ihren eigenen Kalifat in Tschetschenien aufzubauen. Ist jetzt nicht gerade die Art von Befreiung vom Kadyrov-Clan, die man den Tschetschenen so im Allgemeinen wünscht.

Wondering if this is from these folks, who have gone after Russian sites before:

"Gunmen have opened fire at a #synagogue, an Orthodox #church and a police post in ... #Dagestan, killing at least three people...."

All #theocracy sucks.
@lnxw37b2 @jerrykimbro You’re right; looks like #ISISK is a spinoff of #IS

IIRC #ISISK is more active though
The #US identification of #CrocusCityHall as a potential target — a fact that has not been previously reported — raises new questions about why Russian authorities failed to take stronger measures to protect the venue, where gunmen killed >140 people & set fire to the bldg. A branch of the #IslamicState took credit for the attack, the deadliest in #Russia in 20 yrs. #UnitedStates ofcls publicly said the group #ISISK, “bears sole responsibility,” but #Putin has tried to pin the blame on #Ukraine.
>2 wks before terrorist attack
#UnitedStates told #Russia that #CrocusCityHall was possible target of attack
The high degree of specificity conveyed in the warning underscores Washington’s confidence that the #IslamicState was preparing an attack that threatened large numbers of civilians, & it directly contradicts Moscow’s claims that the #US warnings were too general to help preempt the assault.

Het opeisen van de aanslag in Moskou door terreurgroep Isis-K, zet ook Nederland op scherp. De terroristische organisatie heeft onder andere door de oorlog in Oekraïne Europa binnen kunnen dringen. Frankrijk gaat inmiddels uit van het hoogste dreigingsniveau. Moeten wij ons hier ook zorgen gaan maken?...

With its repeated adresses to Russia since friday night, ISIS is like the cheated-on girlfriend who is trying get the guy's attention back to herself and to remind him of her existence, after he has spent the past two years obsessing about the girl next door and heavy-handedly hitting on her...

Can anyone explain to me why the #Russian concert venue attacked by #IsisK has an English name spelled using Western (not Cyrillic) letters? 🤨
If ISIS-K take out Putin his dying words would be "Ukraine did it" because little men have to be in control of the Narrative, even when nobody believes them.
SUSPECT INTERROGATED
TV editor Simonyan published a video showing a suspect, a young bearded man, being interrogated aggressively by a roadside, replying in heavily accented Russian to a series of barked questions. He said he’d flown from Turkey Mar4 & received instructions from unknown people via Telegram to carry out the attack in exchange for money.

[Gifted article, The Washington Post]: Putin fixates on imaginary foes while terrorists attack Moscow by Max Boot.
The Biden administration was right to warn Russia of a potential attack. The U.S. distinguishes between civilians and combatants, even if our enemies don’t.
At the peak of its #power, the group controlled an area the size of Britain, & systematically killed or enslaved members of the Yazidi religious minority, carried out torture & mass killings, & filmed gruesome videos of the executions of its captives, including Westerners. Militants in other regions also pledged allegiance to the group & formed local offshoots.

It has been almost a decade since the #IslamicState group, a fmr al-Qaeda affiliate, declared the establishment of a caliphate over swaths of territory in #Syria & #Iraq. The jihadist group, aka #ISIS or #ISIL, called on all Muslims to join its caliphate & justified its attacks on other Muslims by accusing them of apostasy.

What to know about #ISISK, the #IslamicState grp that claimed responsibility for the #Moscow attack #CrocusCityHall concert venue killing ≥133 people.
The group’s rapid capture of large swaths of #Iraq & #Syria in 2014 shocked the world. While it lost its control of this territory in the yrs that followed, the latest assault is a grim reminder of its ability & branches to carry out attacks in the #MiddleEast & abroad.
