The " confession" video was about as made up as it gets. The guy looks like he was plucked of the street, had the #### beat out of him, and forced to memorize and recite a script with guns pointed off camera on him. Those aren't the eyes of a Jihadist murderer, but of someone looking to their handler for their approval. Not buying it for a single second that the true perps were caught.
I don't doubt it was some kind of ISIS related attack, but I firmly believe the russians did get intel from the US and instead of discussing how to prevent it, planned how they could use it to their advantage to parlay this into additional manpower for the meat grinder. There are plenty of rabbitholes to go down regarding failed cameras, slow police response, etc. Crazy thing, is that in russia many of those rabbithole conspiracies end up being true. We'll know soon enough how they will piggyback off this onto the war effort.
