Over 90 killed/ The number of victims from the terrorist attack in Moscow

Four people involved in the Moscow concert hall attack are among 11 arrested, the head of the FSB Security Service tells President Vladimir Putin, Russian news agencies report.

Meanwhile, the number of victims has also increased, with the BBC reporting that it has reached at least 93 people. More than 140 others were injured in Crocus City Hall, according to the FSB Federal Security Service.

The serious attack has been taken over by the Islamic State. 

Who are the Islamic State group?

The group calling itself Islamic State, which is sometimes referred to as ISIS, once held 34,000 square miles (88,000 square km) of territory stretching from north-eastern Syria through northern Iraq and imposed its brutal rule on almost eight million people.

The group was driven from its last stretch of territory in 2019, but the UN said in February that tackling the threat posed by IS is still a priority and they are expanding in Africa. Last week, the US warned that ISIS remains an ongoing threat.

It is estimated that ISIS last year had between 6,000 and 10,000 fighters in Syria and Iraq, mostly based in rural areas, who continue to carry out attacks. 

The regional branches of ISIS also present threats in other conflict zones around the world./ CNA
