4 Moscow Attack Suspects Charged With Terrorism

Four men have been charged with terrorism for their alleged involvement in a Moscow concert hall attack that resulted in at least 137 deaths.

They could face life imprisonment, according to Moscow's Basmanny district court. The suspects have been detained until May 22, awaiting trial, a date that could be extended.

Two of the defendants have pleaded guilty, with one from Tajikistan fully admitting his role. All suspects are foreign nationals, part of a group of 11 arrested by Russian officials after the attack at Crocus City Hall.

During their court appearance, three were handcuffed, and one was in a wheelchair. The Islamic State group claimed the attack, but Russian President Vladimir Putin hinted at Ukrainian involvement, a claim Ukraine and the US have denied. This was Russia's deadliest attack since the early 2000s.
