In reply to the discussion: At least 40 killed and more than 100 wounded in Moscow concert hall attack [View all]womanofthehills
(8,815 posts)50. US Embassy in Moscow warned of a venue attack on March 7
NYT -
The U.S. Embassy in Moscow issued a security alert on March 7, warning that its personnel were monitoring reports that extremists have imminent plans to target large gatherings in Moscow, to include concerts. The statement warned Americans that an attack could take place in the next 48 hours.
The warning was related to the attack on Friday, according to people briefed on the matter. But it was not related to possible Ukrainian sabotage, American officials said, adding that the State Department would not have used the word extremists to warn about actions ordered from Kyiv.
