4 men charged in Moscow attack, showing signs of beatings at hearing as court says 2 accept guiltMOSCOW, Russia --
The court ordered that the men, all of whom are citizens of Tajikistan, be held in pre-trial custody until May 22. The attack, which has been claimed by an affiliate of the Islamic State group, is the deadliest on Russian soil in years. "It is a tragedy that has affected our entire country," kindergarten employee Marina Korshunova said. "It just doesn't even make sense that small children were affected by this event." Three children were among the dead.
"I went around, searched, I asked everyone, I showed photographs. No one saw anything, no one could say anything," Pogadaev told AP in a video message. The Moscow Region's Emergency Situations Ministry posted a video Sunday showing equipment dismantling the damaged music venue to give rescuers access.
The U.S. shared information with Russia in early March about a planned terrorist attack in Moscow, and issued a public warning to Americans in Russia, Watson said.
