The Amaq news agency, which is close to the Islamic State (IS) terrorist group, published a photograph that allegedly shows four people who carried out an attack on the Crocus City Hall concert hall near Moscow on Friday evening. This was reported by accounts involved in the research of jihadist groups, as noted in particular by The Jerusalem Post and other media.
As The Insider notes, the color, cut and print on the clothes of two of them coincides with the clothes of those detained on suspicion of committing a terrorist attack.
AMAK reports indicate that IS has claimed responsibility for the attack, which the group itself called "the most brutal attack in recent years." The report said the four attackers were armed with machine guns, a pistol, knives and petrol bombs. It is alleged that three of them began shooting at the spectators in the hall, and the fourth set the fire using incendiary bombs prepared in advance for this purpose.
Russian authorities claim that 11 suspects, including four direct perpetrators, were detained in connection with the terrorist attack, which, according to official figures, killed more than 130 people. The Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs stated that there were no Russian citizens among them, without specifying what citizenship the suspects had. One of them is a 19-year-old native of Dushanbe, presumably a citizen of Tajikistan, Muhammadsobir Fayzov (the name was given by the Baza telegram channel and a number of other media outlets). He, as Radio Liberty found out, was subscribed to Islamic public pages on social networks.
Another suspect is presumably Fariddun Shamsutdin. A video of his interrogation after his arrest was published by RT editor-in-chief Margarita Simonyan. He claims that they promised to pay him 500 thousand rubles for the terrorist attack. His clothing in the video matches the clothing of one of the people in the photograph published by the Amak agency.

(CNN) Two defendants charged with terrorism in the shooting incident that occurred at a concert venue in the suburbs of Moscow on the 22nd appeared in Moscow's city court on the 24th.
One of the men pleaded guilty to all charges and was sentenced to detention until at least May 22, a court spokesperson told the state-run RIA Novosti news agency.
The two men are charged with committing acts of terrorism, and prosecutors are requesting that both defendants be detained.
State media reported that both defendants could face life in prison if convicted.
The attack killed 137 people, and President Putin declared the 24th a day of mourning.

In the mass shooting that occurred at a concert hall on the outskirts of Moscow, Russia, on the night of the 22nd, a young boy who worked part-time at the venue saved the lives of more than 100 people by guiding the evacuating attendees. Multiple local media reported this extensively on the 24th.
[Many photos] Suspects suspected of carrying out the shooting incident
The boy is Islam Khalilov (15), an 8th grade student (equivalent to middle school). I went to work in the evening as a cloakroom clerk who kept coats and other items. At first, all I thought was that some noisy people had come, but when I heard the sound of gunshots and people running away, I quickly realized what was going on.
The perpetrators entered the hall from the lobby on the first floor, so it would be dangerous to evacuate towards the front entrance. Mr. Khalilov opened the employee entrance, which visitors would normally not be able to pass through. I didn't know when I would be shot, but I was the last one to come out, shouting and guiding people to see it completed. Three other part-time boys also reportedly took similar actions.
