• The recent terrorist attack at a Moscow concert hall has highlighted the negligence of Russian secret services.
• Kiev, in spite of the Kremlin's attempts to connect them to the attack, maintains that it has never attacked civilians.
• The Afghan branch of the Islamic State, ISIS-K, has claimed responsibility for the massacre.
• The threat of Islamist terrorism remains very much alive, despite perceptions of a decreased activity.
• Putin dismissed warnings from U.S. intelligence and diplomacy about the imminent risk of an attack in Moscow.
