Attack in Russia

What you need to know about the IS terrorist group

The jihadist militia IS has claimed responsibility for the horrific attack in Moscow that left over 200 people dead and injured. Krone+ explains what is behind the terrorist organization "Islamic State".

The horrific attack in Crocus City Hall on Friday evening is the latest in a long list of terrorist attacks claimed by IS. At the beginning of January, two attackers detonated explosive belts in the Iranian city of Kerman, killing over 80 people. Kujtim Fejzulai, who killed four people in a rampage in Vienna in 2020, was also a sympathizer of the terrorist organization "Islamic State", whose worldwide attacks and armed conflicts are estimated to have already claimed the lives of over 70,000 people.
