The committee said five people involved in the crime had been “eliminated” and that their identities had been established. Others involved in the attacks had also been identified, the committee said, without revealing how many attackers it believed were responsible for the shootings. In its statement on Monday morning, the anti-terrorism committee said a special counter-terrorism operation had been concluded.. The attack on Crocus City Hall was Russia’s worst such attack in years and raised concerns that the war on Ukraine and crackdown on internal dissent had distracted authorities from Islamist terror threats.
