    Muslims aren’t exactly popular in Russia, and maybe there’s an opportunistic element to it. Israel likely has it’s defences up.

    …but I don’t really think ISIL is a likely culprit. More likely that they are claiming responsibility for something that was much more home grown.

      Stop talking confidently about this unless you have some sort of information the rest of us don’t. This kind of speculation is what leads to wild conspiracy theories.

      They’re claiming responsibility, they are the most likely culprit. Until we have evidence to the contrary we have no reason to believe it wasn’t them.

      A home-grown coalition of 11 perpetrators, working in concert, with access to weapons and explosives, and who were paid by an unknown benefactor?

      You don’t have to subscribe to any conspiracy theory, US has warned Russia about the IS attack in advance.
