Russian Special Services Continue to Identify People Behind Crocus City Hall Attack - Putin

Russian special services and law enforcement agencies are identifying people behind last month's Crocus City Hall terror attack near Moscow, Russian President Vladimir Putin said on Wednesday.

"Russian special services and law enforcement agencies continue to investigate, to look into the details of this despicable crime. They are identifying people behind it, including those who commissioned the attack, sponsors and organizers," Putin told the 12th International Meeting of High Representatives for Security Issues in the Russian city of St. Petersburg via a video message.

None of those guilty of the attack shall escape just retribution, the president added. 

Russian President Vladimir Putin said that the purpose of terrorist attacks in various regions of the world, which are baked by the intelligence agencies of some countries, is to undermine the constitutional foundations and destabilize sovereign states, stressing that terrorism remains one of the most dangerous threats in the 21st century.
