Turned off metal detectors and no inspections
Among the points that cannot help but raise questions are the metal detectors turned off and the lack of bag checks on the day of the attack. These security measures, seemingly standard for crowded venues, were ignored for unknown reasons. According to survivors, this is a clear disregard for security protocols, especially since increased security has recently been evident in subways and shopping centers.
Warnings from Western intelligence services
Equally important is the fact that the embassies of Western countries, including the United States, Britain, and Germany, had warned of a possible terrorist attack. Even more, Reuters reports warnings sent to Russian authorities about the potential threat from ISIS. But despite this, no visible steps have been taken to increase security.
Lack of resistance from the guards
Video from the scene also shows that the guards did not resist the attackers. The lack of action on the part of people with a duty to provide security also raises questions about the Kremlin's ability to respond to emergencies.
Delayed response from the intelligence services
One of the most puzzling aspects of the incident is the late arrival of the security services at the scene of the attack, despite the proximity of the Main Department of Regional Security of the Moscow Region building. This raises doubts about the effectiveness of coordination and the speed of response to threats.
Search for "Ukrainian trace"
Finally, a propaganda campaign aimed at finding a "Ukrainian trace" in this tragedy has reportedly been launched in the Russian State media. The direction given above calls into question the neutrality and validity of the conclusions that can be drawn from the "investigation". Inevitably, questions arise as to whether the Kremlin itself is behind all the events.
In general, the situation around the terrorist attack in Crocus City Hall is full of inconsistencies and contradictory data. The lack of clear answers from official bodies only increases public discontent and speculation about the motives and causes of what happened. Despite the attempts of some media to build an unambiguous picture, the facts point to the need for a comprehensive investigation of the events that took place on the fateful day.
