This terror attack was obviously meant to happen before the election, not after. It makes no sense to send in the windup toys when Putin just got relected with a vote that Western rulers can barely even dream of.

The alarm on American embassys website came out on the 7th of March. It said there would be a terrorist attack in 48 hours.

On the 9th of March SHAMAN was supposed to have a show in the Crocus City Hall. SHAMAN is a patriotic Russian pop-singer, who Ukrainians and Anti-Putin opposition consider to be a weapon of Russian propaganda. On the contrary, band “Picnic”, whose show came under the terror attack is totally apolitical.

Could it be that originally they were planning to attack SHAMANs concert?”

The terror group would have checked out the Crocus hall for entrance and escape routes, planned fire zones, where to place bombs to initiate fires, etc. The cancellation would leave them little option but to go ahead at the same site, but at a later date.
