Russian National Security Council chief Nikolai Patrushev on Wednesday told his counterparts at a meeting of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization that he was still pretty sure the US and Ukraine were still somehow behind last months deadly attack on the Crocus City Hall venue in Moscow that killed more than 140 people even after the ISIS terrorists were arrested and it was revealed that US intel had tried to warn the Kremlin specifically that the venue was a potential target, the AP reports.
Oh that and ISIS claimed responsibility for it too. That part seems to get lost in the mix.
“They are trying to impose on us that the terrorist act was committed not by the Kyiv regime, but by supporters of radical Islamic ideology, perhaps members of the Afghan branch of IS,” Patrushev said at a meeting in Kazakhstan’s capital Astana of the SCO bloc which also includes China, India, and Iran. “However, it is much more important to quickly establish who is the customer and sponsor of this monstrous crime. Its traces lead to the Ukrainian special services. But everyone knows that the Kyiv regime is not independent and is completely controlled by the United States.”
Patrushev did not elaborate on whether he had came up with that himself or had read it on a blog by Matt Taibbi and/or Michael Shellenberger after snorting ketamine all night, though it seems likely.
