This is the moment the accused terrorists from the
Moscow massacre at Crocus City Hall are seen being frogmarched while blindfolded into the
Russian Investigative Committee to be grilled over the mass slaughter/ They are held tightly as they are frogmarched into the building. Separate footage shows the
Arsenal left behind by the gunmen who staged a bloodbath at the concert venue . When the killers wrong-footed Putin’s law enforcement and made their getaway after just 15 minutes, they left an arsenal behind. Officers said they found four sets of combat ammunition , more than 500 rounds of ammunition and 28 magazines. Two Kalashnikov assault rifles were found at the scene. The latest death toll is 137 .

This was almost exactly at the time the US and
UK embassies warned of an impending risk of a strike in the Russian capital. The revelation emerged as footage was revealed purporting to show dictator
Vladimir Putin in his office as he was told of the atrocity. The US said it possessed intelligence on the ISIS-K group ( Image: RUSSIAN INVESTIGATIVE COMMITTEE/) Suspect Shamsuddin Fariddun, from Tajikistan, was caught on camera at Crocus City Hall on March 7, it is claimed. The detainee, born in 1998, is now being interrogated in Moscow. His image is apparently seen on a picture taken at the venue earlier. A photographer said he was working at Crocus on March 7 taking pictures of visitors. “One of them turned out to be an [alleged] terrorist,” it was reported. “The photographer recognised him after his arrest.” The following day stories ran saying the US and UK embassies had issued highly unusual warnings to say “extremists” had imminent plans to attack “large gatherings” in Moscow. One of the men were reportedly recognised by a photographer ( Image: RUSSIAN INVESTIGATIVE COMMITTEE/) Putin would dismiss the warnings - which were also passed privately to his security chiefs - as a “provocation”. But it appears the US, which was first to issue the alert, had intelligence on the plans of an ISIS-linked cell. The
American embassy said: ‘Extremists have imminent plans to target large gatherings in Moscow, to include concerts, and U.S. citizens should be advised to avoid large gatherings over the next 48 hours.” It appears the US going public with the threat led to a delay by the “terrorists” who struck on Friday evening.
Russia President Vladimir Putin has maintained suspicions that
Ukraine was involved ( Image: RUSSIAN INVESTIGATIVE COMMITTEE/) Separately, the dictator has been allegedly seen as he heard about the attack which - on current figures - killed 133. The footage is from a propaganda broadcast intending to show Putin was fully in command. He is seen grabbing an outdated landline phone apparently being briefed on the initial incident. The grim-faced tyrant is seen listening to a briefing on the phone and barking: “Until we speak….” On the next call, Putin, 71, asks: “No changes?” For all the latest on news, politics, sports, and showbiz from the
USA, go to The Mirror US One of the killers is led out from a van ( Image: RUSSIAN INVESTIGATIVE COMMITTEE/) He then queries what he has been told, asking: “Eleven people have been detained?” Many will see it is a stunt to seek to show Putin is in control of events. And timelines of the events suggest a flat footed response from Putin’s commanders. They show the gunmen began
shooting at 7.58pm and were inside the Crocus complex from 8.01pm. The men are set to face a grilling ( Image: RUSSIAN INVESTIGATIVE COMMITTEE/) They left only 12 minutes later at 8.13pm in a white Renault to start their escape, which Putin has alleged was intended to see them go to Ukraine . After another 12 minutes a
fire breaks out in the building. At 8.26pm it was reported by TASS that the emergency services were evacuating people. Accounts suggest firefighters only arrived at 9.06pm. Yet it would be only at 9.30pm that an assault by special forces began. Some accounts suggest this was later, at 9.43pm with firefighters entering Crocus. More than 140 are thought to have been killed ( Image: RUSSIAN INVESTIGATIVE COMMITTEE/) Firefighters and medics had not been able to enter until the security services were ready. The footage purports to show Putin fully in control. He has alleged a Ukrainian link - this was where the alleged terrorists were heading - when the version from US intelligence is that an
ISIS affiliate was involved, and the Kyiv link is a phantom.
