    If I had to make a guess, whoever was involved didn’t expect to come out alive.

    And it targeted the general public, not the government.

    I’d guess Islamic stuff is more likely than upset veterans.

    But I suppose that if it’s part of a larger group, that someone will probably claim responsibility.

      Yeah my bet is some IS offshoot from the Caucasus, or the FSB.

      It’s honestly not all that unlikely that Putin’s behind this one, just like with the apartment building bombings in '99 that got blamed on the Chechens and were used as part of the pretext for war. I know the Ukrainian HUR is claiming that they know this was a false flag, but I’m going to hold my judgement until more information comes in.
