Putin admits Islamists behind attack, tries to implicate Ukraine
Moscow | Russian President Vladimir Putin acknowledged on Monday (Tuesday AEDT) that last week’s deadly attack at a concert outside Moscow was carried out by Islamic militants, but suggested it was also to the benefit of Ukraine and that Kyiv may have played a role.
Mr Putin’s remarks, to a Kremlin meeting devoted to measures taken in response to the attack, were delivered as France joined the US in saying intelligence indicated Islamic State was responsible.
