ISIL claims responsibility

This is false. The alleged ISIS announcement has already been identified as a fake. However it should be noted that this narrative was put out in a coordinated fashion by western media almost immediately after the attack in order to get ahead of the story.

So far what is known is:

  • the terrorists were offered a substantial amount of money for the attack through a Telegram contact

  • the terrorists were provided with weapons through a cache set up by a well organized network

  • the terrorists were apprehended while frantically trying to reach the Ukrainian border

The fact pattern does not fit the MO of ISIS, this was not a suicide attack, it was meticulously planned and organized by a professional agency with substantial resources complete with a getaway plan for the terrorists.

I don't want to say anything more than this for now because this is not the time for speculation, we have to wait for all the facts. We will learn more in the coming days and weeks.

My deepest condolences to those affected by this heinous crime.

ISIL claims responsibility

The Afghan arm of ISIL/ISIS – known as the Islamic State in Khorasan Province or ISIS-K – has claimed responsibility for the attack via the Telegram channel of Amaq, a media outlet affiliated with the group.

Yeah nice try, i don't buy it. It's not the first time they've claimed responsibility for attacks they had nothing to do with. Al Jazeera needs to stop feeding into this false narrative that the West is trying to get its proxies to construct so as to obfuscate the real organizers of the attack.

Sorry but at this point we have a clear enough picture of the attack that you'd have to be either stupid or lying to still insist that it was ISIS.
