Putin calls Moscow concert hall attack ‘barbaric’, vows retribution • FRANCE 24 English

I think in his speech which was uh rather short to be honest uh Putin really said what the people wanted to hear he said that the main thing is that further terrorist attacks are prevented uh that the suspects have all been put into custody the investigation is underway um that National Unity will

Prevail I made all the speculation that’s been going on over the last uh 24 hours about the suspects uh nationality citizenship uh ethnicity uh he said National unity in Russia won’t be disrupted um perhaps most of all um most interestingly he stopped short of actually directly assigning blame um for

What is rapidly emerging to be one of the most uh shocking one of the worst terrorist attacks in modern day uh history in Russia um he did impli though that these terrorists were heading towards Russia’s western border the border with Ukraine and when they were arrested and that um if they failed to

Make it across the border there were people on the other side according to Putin who would help them getting crossed now that is not a a direct accusation that’s not a direct a portion of blame but certainly that is implying very strongly about who could have been behind the organization um of this

Terror attack in G City yesterday yeah Ukraine has been anticipating being blamed and already has denied any involvement Rescuers meanwhile are still looking for victims and 11 suspects have been arrested tell us what are the latest developments that’s right well the body count unfortunately uh has been rising in Moscow this is something

Investigators had warned about because people uh in this terrorist attack were basically trapped in this burning building it’s a hall with over 6,000 seats this concert was according to the website yesterday pretty much sold out so there were many many people there it was packed and Rescuers have been

Finding people basically trapped in rooms where they tried to hide from the gunman and suffocated from the smoke resulting from the fire they’ve been finding bodies under the debris because the roof of course caught on fire in the hall and collapsed as well um people have been lining up to donate blood to

Donate uh to donate blood in hospitals though Medics have said uh enough enough blood is available um as you rightly say 11 have been arrested in total four of those gunmen were present at the scene but as Vladimir Putin said the investigators are now focusing on who supplied the weapons who supplied the

Ghetto vehicle who was directing these uh these people because these interviews or interrogations or rather been released all over Russian telegram channels the Russian media have been citing them uh these uh suspects um have claimed or one of them has claimed that he was offered half a million Rubles

That’s around five $5,000 to carry out this killing um so who stood behind that who directed these people um is the next stage um in the investigation that’s what uh the investigators will be looking to find out in the coming hours and days

Russian President Vladimir Putin on Saturday called an attack on a concert hall that killed more than 100 a “barbaric terrorist act” and vowed harsh retribution to all those involved. In a short, televised speech, Putin said what the people wanted to hear but stopped short of directly assigning blame for one of the worst terrorist attacks in modern day history in Russia, Freelance Correspondent Daniel Hawkins said, reporting from Moscow.

  10. God tells us to never take revenge and to leave it to the Lord. God is the ultimate judge and when we seek revenge, we are taking His place. When we become overwhelmed with what others have done wrong, we become filled with anger and find ourselves focused on hate.

  16. I’m starting to wonder the so called ‘caught’ terrorists(if they are alive) are the same culprits who committed the crime of shooting or they are just actors put in place who will later blame put the blame on Ukraine.. you never know what putin is plotting..

  23. Ask Russian FSB, GRU allow Putin's to allow mobilize! KEY point: ISIS is paying back to Russia due to Russia's devasting bomb attack on behalf of Syria. Trying to link to Ukraine is Greek farce, but what can U expect from Putin? My my Russian liars have NO limit!

  24. Come on people, are you really that dumb, Ukraine was terrorising borders with Russia bombing civilians and promising to sabotage election, who do you think responsible for this terror, providing that 13 CIA organisations is already exist in Ukraine, the answer is obvious

  28. Boo hoo hoo does anybody remember what Russia did when they first invaded Ukraine all the women and little girls that got ?????? you know what happened to them

  35. Barbaric you what to know about barbaric just ask the Syrians that we’re bombed with poison gas ! 😮 And inconvenient truth 😊Putin is no different than Trump 😮

  47. There is no crime, no cruelty, no abomination that the mind of men can conceive of which the Russian has not perpetrated, is not perpetrating, and will not perpetrate if Putin and his Henchmen are allowed to go on…
