ISIS-K Claims Responsibility for Deadly Attack at Moscow Concert Hall
TL;DR Summary
ISIS-K, the Islamic State affiliate in Afghanistan, claimed responsibility for the recent terrorist attack in Moscow. Founded in 2015 by disaffected members of the Pakistani Taliban, the group saw its ranks reduced by American airstrikes and Afghan commando raids but gained strength after the Taliban took over Afghanistan. The Taliban have been fighting ISIS-K in Afghanistan, and the United States plans to carry out "over-the-horizon" strikes against ISIS and Qaeda insurgents. ISIS-K has also targeted Iran and has been fixated on Russia, frequently criticizing President Vladimir V. Putin in its propaganda.
