Footage of gunmen reinforces terror group’s claim to have masterminded worst terror attack on Russia in two decades

The videos, which were published by IS’s news agency Amaq, showed the gunmen filming themselves as they hunted concertgoers through the lobby of the Crocus City Hall and fired at them from pointblank range, killing scores of people. At one point, one of the gunmen tells another to “kill them and have no mercy”.

Sorry, Vlad. Can’t pin it on Ukraine anymore.

    One of the clips, circulated by Russian bloggers, appears to show members of the security forces cutting off the ear of a man who is later interrogated over the attack and then stuffing it into his mouth.

    I have serious doubts that there’s actual research backing up the idea that this is actually an effective way to get information out of someone.

      There’s research that indicates it doesn’t work at all. They’ll just say whatever is needed to make it stop.

          An MI-6 agent, a CIA agent, and a KGB agent are all talking, claiming to be the best at finding a target when they need to. So they come up with a competition, where they release a rabbit into a forest and have to track and retrieve it.

          The MI-6 agent goes on first, and after a week comes back, accepting failure.

          The CIA agent goes next, and after 3 days comes out and declares there is no rabbit, or it escaped into another country.

          The Russian agent goes last, and after 6 hours calls the others back to inform that he succeeded.

          When the other two agents arrive, they find a bear chained to a chair, badly beaten and bloody, wearing a set of bunny ears and saying “I am a rabbit. I have always been a rabbit. My parents were members of a rabbit group…”

          A torture victim would admit to smoking weed with Mohammed, and punching orphans with Hitler.
