After a massacre like this in Moscow, questions always arise. But this particular attack raises particularly difficult questions for Vladimir Putin at a time of international tension. Many of them were born as a result of a warning from Washington.
The warning the United States issued to its citizens on March 7 was unusually specific. He spoke of reports that “extremists” are “planning to target large gatherings in Moscow” and specifically referred to concerts.
She even advised Americans in the city to avoid large gatherings for the next 48 hours, according to what the newspaper reported BBC.
The timing may not be exactly the same, but there are other elements that are closely linked to the events of March 22. It seems clear that Washington had information about ISIS.
But Moscow rejected the warnings.
A US official said in a statement after the attack, “The US government shared this information with the Russian authorities in accordance with its long-standing ‘duty to warn’ policy.”
