Russia’s top security agency, the Federal Security Service, says there are dead and wounded in a Moscow concert hall that is ablaze amid a shooting by several gunmen.
These are the least radicalized radical Islamic terrorists in living memory.
They didn’t seek to become martyrs, but instead ran away (with a well-planned extraction plan, as far as we can tell) instead of maximizing casualties
They hid their faces instead of proudly declaring their martyrdom
No screaming of Allah, no mention of Allah, no “God is great”, nothing
Video shows the terrorists doing Shahada with their left index finger (which goes against the teachings of Muhammad)

Do you have a source on that?
Lots of the articles about it mention it. Here’s one.
Their own ass and the US state department’s ass
