ISIS-K, an offshoot of ISIS called Islamic State in Khorasan, claimed responsibility for the March 22 attack at the Crocus City Hall concert hall outside Moscow that killed 133 people. While US officials were quick to put the blame on ISIS, Russia’s President Putin claimed that the attackers were aided by Western and Ukrainian intelligence.
BreakThrough’s Kei Pritsker discusses the attack, the origins of ISIS, and the new generation of terrorism as the US continues to wage reckless global war.
“The US launched wars in Libya, Syria, Yemen, and Somalia and created more power vacuums for ISIS to spread all around the world– US foreign policy is responsible for the spread of ISIS.” @KeiPritsker
