Four suspects arrested after at least 93 killed in Moscow concert attack, Russia says [View all]

At least 93 people are dead and more than 140 have been wounded after gunmen open fired at a rock concert at Crocus City Hall in a suburb of Moscow on Friday evening local time, Russian intelligence says

Four people directly involved in the attack are among 11 arrested, Russia's security chief has told President Vladimir Putin this morning

The US says it's credible that an affiliate of the Islamic State group could be behind the attack, after the group said they carried out the attack.

The White House also says it warned Russia of a potential attack on "large gatherings" in Moscow earlier this month. Russia has not commented

The BBC Russian service is reporting some more detail on those in hospital after the attack. Citing Russia’s ministry of health it reports that 16 people including one child are in an “extremely serious” condition, and that 44 other people including two children are in a “serious” condition.
