    ISIL posted a photo on one of its Telegram channels on Saturday claiming to show the four men who launched the attack. The group said the attack was part of ISIL’s “raging war” on countries fighting Islam.

    Interesting that the Islamic State completely ignores Israel, given that Israel is in the process of digging tunnels under and denying Muslims access to the third most holy site in all of Islam…

      You forgot the fact that Israel is killing mostly innocent civilians in Gaza, using U.S. weapons. It’s almost as if they are trying to create terrorists. I know I would be pissed if it happened to me…

      Why would ISIS do that? Hamas has done it and achieved desired effect - Israeli reaction to the act of terror with sequential condemnation by many countries of the Israeli responce. ISIS wants unification of Muslims under their banner into Khaliphate. Having terror act in Israel only unite Israelis in their fight against terror and will validate Israel in the eyes of the world.

        Probably more difficult to get into Israel in the first place tbh.

        Plus isn’t mossad meant to be good at spying on people? And yes we all know about their “failures” that lead to the Gaza invasion.

          Russia is supposedly so good at intelligence that they can manipulate the elections of their greatest geopolitical rival.

            They also have over 22K kilometres of border, some with ex soviet countries, which the shooters are supposedly from. How difficult do you think it is for someone to get into Russia, really?

            Compare that with Israel.

      Muslims aren’t exactly popular in Russia, and maybe there’s an opportunistic element to it. Israel likely has it’s defences up.

      …but I don’t really think ISIL is a likely culprit. More likely that they are claiming responsibility for something that was much more home grown.

        Stop talking confidently about this unless you have some sort of information the rest of us don’t. This kind of speculation is what leads to wild conspiracy theories.

        They’re claiming responsibility, they are the most likely culprit. Until we have evidence to the contrary we have no reason to believe it wasn’t them.

        A home-grown coalition of 11 perpetrators, working in concert, with access to weapons and explosives, and who were paid by an unknown benefactor?
