EXPLAINER-Why did ISIS-K attack a Moscow theater?
The U.S. has intelligence confirming Islamic State’s responsibility for a deadly shooting attack at a concert near Moscow. Islamic State Khorasan (ISIS-K) emerged in eastern Afghanistan in late 2014, known for extreme brutality and being one of the most active Islamic State affiliates. Its membership has declined since 2018 due to losses inflicted by the Taliban and U.S. forces. The U.S. stated that intelligence capabilities against groups like ISIS-K in Afghanistan have decreased after the 2021 troop withdrawal. ISIS-K has conducted various attacks, including twin bombings in Iran and a suicide bombing at the Russian embassy in Kabul. The group opposes Russian President Vladimir Putin, criticizing him in propaganda and viewing Russia as oppressive towards Muslims.
