In a developing story, a concert hall in Moscow has been attacked with at least 133 dead so far.
A large concert venue near Moscow became the scene of a mass shooting late Friday. The massacre has left over 100 people dead, including children, and is one of the worst terrorist attacks in Russia’s modern history.
According to the latest estimates, at least 133 people were killed and scores injured in the deadly shooting and subsequent fire sparked by a group of gunmen who stormed the Crocus City Hall, a large music venue just outside of the Russian capital.

Details are still emerging, but according to Russia’s Federal Security Service (FSB), the attack was carefully planned and designed to maximize casualties. An investigation into the incident is underway. Here is what is known so far.
Perpetrators detained
Eleven people, including four terrorists who were directly involved in the deadly shooting, have been detained, the FSB said in a statement on Saturday.
According to the security service, the weapons used in the shooting were organized in a cache in advance.
Russia’s Investigative Committee also confirmed that four suspects who “committed the terrorist attack” on Crocus City Hall were detained in Bryansk Region, “not far from the border with Ukraine.”
According to the authorities, the terrorists planned to flee to Ukraine.
Death toll rises
According to the Investigative Committee, as of Saturday afternoon, the death toll in the attack has risen to at least 133 people, including three children, as more bodies have been discovered in the rubble. The Moscow Region Health Ministry said that at least 121 people were wounded, with 107 requiring hospitalization. Emergency services continue to work at the site.
Putin’s address to the nation
Russian President Vladimir Putin addressed the nation following the terrorist attack at the Crocus City Hall. He expressed his condolences to the victims and families affected by the shooting, and said that everyone responsible for the tragedy will be punished.
All the attackers involved have been arrested and the security forces are doing everything possible to protect Russian citizens against further mass murder, the president added.
The main thing now is to prevent those who are behind this bloodbath from committing another crime, he said in the address on Saturday. (Source.)
I have been reading both Western Corporate Media sources, as well as Russian and Middle Eastern Corporate Media sources today trying to piece everything together from these “official” corporate media reports, and many things do not add up.
And while this is certainly headline news in the U.S., I have to admit that while surveying Corporate Media reports in the U.S., that I am quite sure I saw more news stories today about Britain’s Kate Middleton than I have about this deadly attack in Moscow.
The Western Media has obviously desensitized readers to stories about mass deaths with the ongoing coverage in Gaza, where tens of thousands are now reported dead, with no sign of letting up.
So let me put a little bit of context to this tragic event. This is MOSCOW, not a smaller border city near Ukraine, where this attack happened. And while there have been previous reports of drones and maybe missiles being intercepted that were targeted at Moscow, this is the first direct attack, and it was apparently done through underground intelligence agencies, and not a direct military attack.
Such an attack like this would be comparable to something similar happening in New York, or London, or Paris. As you can imagine, such an event would immediately begin 24/7 coverage in the U.S. Corporate Media, but as of today, it is simply another news story along with many others.
Not in Russia, however, as this is a real tragedy for the Russian people that they are now covering with all the attention of the Russian media. The main English language Russian publications online are RT.com, and Sputnik.com.
