Tajikistan has detained nine people in connection with the recent Russian concert hall attack, with some suspects believed to have ties to the militant Islamist group claiming responsibility. Four of the alleged gunmen are Tajik citizens. Russian investigators will question the suspects and their families in Dushanbe. The claim of a link to “Ukrainian nationalists” has been refuted.
Tajikistan has detained nine people this week suspected of having links to a mass shooting at a Russian concert hall last Friday and also to the militant Islamist group that claimed responsibility, a Tajik security source told Reuters.
Four suspected gunmen behind the deadliest attack in Russia in 20 years are Tajik citizens. They have been arrested along with seven other suspects, some of whom also come from the ex-Soviet Central Asian nation.
Tajikistan’s state security committee detained nine people on Monday in the city of Vakhdat and the suspects are now in the capital, Dushanbe, the source said, without providing any further details.
At least 143 people were killed in the attack on the concert hall near Moscow.
Tajikistan, which is a member of a Russian-led security bloc and hosts a Russian military base, has also rounded up the families of the suspected gunmen so that Russian investigators can question them in Dushanbe, sources told Reuters this week.
Russian investigators said on Thursday they had found proof that the concert hall gunmen were linked to “Ukrainian nationalists”, an assertion immediately dismissed by the United States as baseless propaganda.
Kyiv has strongly denied any involvement in the concert hall attack.
In a recent development, Tajikistan has detained nine individuals in connection with the tragic attack on a Russian concert hall. This swift and decisive action demonstrates Tajikistan’s commitment to addressing acts of violence and protecting international security. The cooperation between Tajikistan and Russia in pursuing justice for the victims of this attack is a significant step towards ensuring safety and stability in the region. As the investigation continues, it is crucial for all parties involved to work together in upholding justice and preventing similar incidents in the future. The collaboration and determination displayed by Tajikistan and Russia serve as a powerful illustration of unified efforts to combat terrorism and uphold peace. Our thoughts are with the victims and their families as we continue to monitor this developing situation.
