Islamic State has released new videos of the attack on the Crocus City concert hall outside Moscow that left 137 people dead, corroborating the terror group’s claim to have masterminded the slaughter even as Russia has sought to place the blame on Ukraine, which Kyiv denies.

The Moscow terrorist shooting is the deadliest IS-claimed attack to date on European soil and the deadliest attack in Russia since the 2004 Beslan school siege.
