Moscow Trial Begins

A military trial began yesterday over the March 2024 Moscow concert hall shooting rampage that killed 149 people and wounded over 600 others. The attack, claimed by a regional ISIS affiliate, was the deadliest massacre in Russia’s capital in 20 years.   Nineteen people are on trial over the attack at Crocus City Hall concert venue, where attendees waited to see the popular rock band Picnic (see history). After gunning down concertgoers, four assailants set the venue ablaze. Authorities identified the suspects as citizens of Tajikistan, where an ISIS affiliate has recruited thousands of people. The US said it warned Russia of intelligence suggesting an imminent attack, but Moscow dismissed the warning amid its war with Ukraine.    Roughly 30 survivors were present at yesterday’s hearing, which is not open to the public. Defendants include the four alleged gunmen and 15 accomplices, held in Russia’s defendant cages. Human rights groups have criticized the treatment of the suspects over signs of torture.
