Of Afghanistan Iran and Turkmenistan the group emerged in eastern Afghanistan in 2014 as an alternative to the Taliban and is one of the most active Regional Affiliates of the Islamic State militant group it was just a year ago that US general Michael Killa warned Congress

About the risk posed by ISIS K ISS Isis Coran retains the capability and the will to attack us and Western interests abroad in as little as 6 months with little to no warning but it’s not just about the West Russia has also long been a target for Isis K reasons include the

Legacy of the Soviet Afghan war but also Russia’s fight against separatists in cnia where a number of insurgents fought under the Isis Banner Vladimir Putin also backed the Assad regime in its fight against the Islamic State in Syria so Russia is seen as working with Syria fighting Muslims in the caucuses in

Central Asia and then if you go to Isis K itself um it is very critical of the Taliban and it blames the Taliban for being too close to Russia so both the group in particular but also the bar BR Community are very anti-russian Isis K has a history of brutal attacks both

  3. Western media and Americans: “it’s Isis”…
    Russia : “no. We don’t think so..”
    Western media and Americans: “nothing to do with Ukraine. Look, we have a telegram post from ISIS claiming responsibility… “

  4. Before the terrorists were caught,western agencies already states it was IS.seen the interview with one ofvthe terrorist telling they were paid to do it.Russia is not saying it was IS

  10. No one can verify that we can just simple say France did it will anyone believe it?

    Putin knows who did it and he is coming for them please just keep your False western propaganda because no one gonna believe you

  11. You from Europe have been fed lies by the US propaganda machine. US claimed it was ISIS without any form of investigation. Russia announced after investigation it wasn't ISIS but UKRAINE and US led terrorists attack.

  20. False flag russian. Russia had its compatriots killed to justify attacks on Ukraine and also to rally the population and convince them that they must fight against Ukraine. Russian President Vladimir Putin is evil or no!!!

  22. I would take this with a grain of salt. Islamic groups have a long history of claiming responsibility for actions they had nothing to do with.

  42. Why did my comments about that certain religion keep disappearing?😂
    You can blame anyone but them.
    Your political correctness is out of control at this point……
