247 – The United States created the Islamic State and other terrorist organizations, Russian Security Council Secretary Nikolai Patrushev said on Wednesday (3).

“But it is well known that the Kiev regime is not independent and is completely controlled by the United States. We must also keep in mind that ISIS, Al-Qaeda and other terrorist organizations were created by Washington,” Patrushev said at the 19th annual meeting of the heads of the security council of the member states of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization, commenting on the alleged role of IS in the recent terrorist attack in Moscow, as cited by the Sputnik agency.

The terrorist attack at Crocus City Hall was well organized and was accompanied by extensive pre-orchestrated media coverage in the West, Patrushev said.

“The terrorist attack was well organized and was accompanied by extensive, pre-orchestrated coverage by Western media outlets in the right tone for them,” Patrushev told the meeting.

On March 22, several armed men broke into Crocus City Hall and began shooting at people. They also started a fire in one of the auditoriums, which was full of people waiting for a concert. The attack left 695 victims, including 144 dead, according to the latest data from the Russian Emergencies Ministry. The four main suspects in the case — all citizens of Tajikistan — tried to flee the scene in a car, but were detained and charged with terrorism. Russian authorities believe their plan was to flee to Ukraine, where the masterminds of the attack had organized a safe haven for them. An investigation is ongoing.
