'This is not ISIS'- Russian journalist on Moscow concert hall attack

Margarita Simonyan

Margarita Simonyan, the editor-in-chief of Sputnik's parent media group Rossiya Segodnya said, this is not ISIS behind the terror attack in the Crocus City Hall concert venue near Moscow.

She said, Ukraine and the West have resorted to false flag operations to persuade everyone that it was ISIS, as reported by Russian media Sputnik. 

According to the report, Editor-in-chief of RT and Russia Today Margarita Simonyan stressed that the names and faces of the perpetrators are already known to authorities and that the terrorists gave everything away during interrogation.

“It immediately became obvious why US media were claiming in unison that it was ISIS," she said.

Simonyan explained that the perpetrators were chosen to carry out the attack in a manner that would allow the West to persuade the international community that ISIS was behind the attack.

“Basic sleight of hand. The level of a railway thimble-rigger," she added." It has nothing to do with ISIS. It's Ukrainians."

She added that the enthusiasm displayed by Western media when they tried to persuade everyone that ISIS was responsible even before arrests were made gave them away completely.
