The “flagship” of the Democrats in the media, the NY Times, reported that American intelligence agencies did not transmit information about the terrorist attack in Moscow's Crocus City Hall to their Russian colleagues because they were afraid that their sources would be revealed and Moscow would find out how they were obtaining information .
Newspaper quotes European and American security officials. “Hostile relations between Moscow and Washington have prevented US officials from releasing more information about the (terrorist) plot due to fears that Russian authorities could learn about their intelligence sources or methods,” – writes the newspaper. Citing high-ranking officials, the newspaper reports that American agents received fairly specific information about the preparation of a terrorist attack.
At the same time, Russia has already stated that the messages from the American intelligence services were of a general nature and could in no way help prevent a terrorist attack in “Crocus”.
The attack on the Crocus City Hall concert hall in Krasnogorsk near Moscow occurred on the evening of March 22. Terrorists broke into the building and began shooting innocent citizens, and also set fire to several rooms, causing the roof to collapse.
On Wednesday evening, the Ministry of Emergency Situations published a new list of those killed in the terrorist attack, which included 143 names. According to the latest data, 182 people were injured. The criminals were detained on the morning of March 23 in the Bryansk region while attempting to escape to Ukraine.
