Russian authorities arrested the four men suspected of carrying out the attack on a suburban Moscow concert hall that killed at least 133 people, President Vladimir Putin said on Saturday during an address to the nation.Kyiv strongly denied any involvement in Friday’s attack on the Crocus City Hall music venue in Krasnogorsk and so-called Islamic State’s Afghanistan affiliate claimed responsibility.
Mr Putin said authorities have detained 11 people over the attack, which also injured more than 100 concertgoers and left the venue on Moscow’s western rim a smouldering ruin. The attack, the deadliest in Russia in years, is a major embarrassment to the Russian leader and happened just days after he cemented his grip on the country for another six years in a vote that followed the harshest crackdown on dissent since Soviet times.
Hundreds of people stood in line in Moscow early Saturday to donate blood and plasma, Russia’s health ministry said. Russian news reports cited authorities and witnesses as saying the attackers threw explosive devices that started the fire, which eventually consumed the building and caused its roof to collapse.
