Russian Officials Urge Harsh Punishment for Suspects in Moscow Concert Hall Attack


With the Moscow concert attack suspects, Russian officials are urging a harsh penalty. Four men are accused of carrying out the deadly strike.

Calls mounted in Russia on Monday to harshly punish those behind the concert hall attack that killed more than 130 people as authorities combed the burned-out ruins of the entertainment complex and an Orthodox priest blessed the site. The attack Friday night on Crocus City Hall on the western outskirts of Moscow left 137 people dead and over 180 injured, proving to be the deadliest in Russia in years. “People are not satisfied with this situation when such a huge number of law enforcement officers didn’t manage to prevent such an attack, and they demonstrate the severe reaction in order to stop these accusations against them,” he said.
