It was noteworthy that the accused of leading the terrorist operation was arrested, as he was hiding on top of a tree in a forest in the Bryansk border province. When the Russian forces arrived at his place, they asked him to come down, but he refused, then they caught him after they cut down the tree.
The defendant, named "Dalirjon Mirzoev" (32 years old), was not the only one who was found on top of a tree, as another defendant, named "Faridoun Shams al-Din", was also found hiding on top of one of the trees in the forest, for fear of chasing dogs.
Doubt and question
The Shabakat program (3/26/2024) monitored some of the tweeters’ comments about the scene of those accused of carrying out the terrorist attack hiding in trees, including what Sami wrote: “A new clowning from Abu Ali Putin... after a thousand clowns and clowns that no one believes.”
While an account in the name of Guevara wrote: “ISIS members deliberately do not return unscathed from any terrorist operation. They use explosive devices and belts, not just Kalashnikov rifles. Conclusion: Those who carried out the Moscow terrorist operation are mercenaries.”
As for Nahran, he tweeted: “When this terrorist was behind the machine gun killing innocent people, he saw himself as a hero...but when he was pursued by good men, he climbed the tree to hide. How cowardly terrorists are when confronted.”
Alaa wrote skeptically: “The leader of the attack is arrested without resistance and investigation in an open place... This is not true. The face of the perpetrator is usually hidden until the rest are arrested.”
Meanwhile, Khaled wondered: “What makes these people and others like them carry out such operations so boldly, despite the inevitability of their end and arrest? Are they being blackmailed or forced into prison?”
Russian President Vladimir Putin insists on Ukraine’s involvement in the attack, despite the latter’s denial of any involvement in it. He stated: “The United States is trying to convince the world that Ukraine is not involved in the terrorist attack that took place in Moscow (..) We know by whose hands the crime was committed, but we are interested in knowing by whom.” Funded and who ordered its implementation.
The four suspects - who are of Tajik origin - appeared before a court in Moscow on Sunday, where a decision was issued to detain them pending investigation on terrorism charges.
The "Islamic State - Khorasan Province" organization claimed responsibility for the attack, which was consistent with the accusations made by the United States and France against the organization.
