Man, Russia is nuts. I dunno where these guys got their beatings, but this seems like nothing you’d see in the US.
Also, hard to understand how they can blame Ukraine for this while none of the suspects are Ukrainian.

-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Presumably because they couldn't find any Ukrainians to pin the blame on.
I'm somewhat skeptical about if these people are actually responsible, since I would have thought that a properly organized terrorist would actually leave the country pretty pronto.
That, or they weren’t planning on leaving the scene of the attack, since that’s one of their primary tactics
well the police didnt even turn up for like 90 minutes apparently so maybe they gave up waiting for them to suicide by cop
Maybe ISIS claiming the attack makes that harder too?
That's starting to look weak. They're allowing reality to have an impact on decision making.
You really won't see this in the USA, because few people even reach the border. After September 11, the United States is fine with eliminating threats. For example, the United States knew about this attack for 2 weeks.
UPD: I also remind you that after September 11, the United States did not limit itself to one person but beat up an entire country
Most people involved with the sbu's sabotage and terrorism inside Russia where not Ukrainian.
But you might see it in Cuba, if you know where to look
All appeared to have been beaten - videos of brutal interrogation sessions were apparently leaked by Russian security forces, and reports suggest at least one had suffered electric shocks.
...
The men the court identified as Mirzoyev and Rachabalizoda had black eyes and the latter's ear was heavily bandaged - reportedly from it being partially severed during his arrest.
Mirzoyev also appeared to have a torn plastic bag wrapped around his neck.
The face of the man identified as Fariduni was badly swollen, while the man named as Fayzov appeared to lose consciousness as he was brought into court in a wheelchair wearing a thin hospital gown.
He appeared to have an eye missing, according to the Reuters news agency.
...
A court statement on the Telegram messaging service said Mirzoyev had "admitted his guilt in full", while Rachabalizoda also "admitted guilt".
Anyone will admit guilt if you do that to them. Is there any actual evidence that these men were the ones who attacked the concert hall?
Nyt is showing stills from the videos compared to what they were wearing during arrest, clothing matches.
Oh well I guess that's definitive evidence then. Clothing is a unique unreplicatable item, everyone knows that.
Russia didn't even believe these attacks were going to take place, I refuse to believe that they're able to catch the culprits this quickly, there's a level of organization and skill that they've never previously demonstrated.
I mean Occam's razor and all.
If you want to go down the conspiracy rabbit hole then please do... But I'm not sure why the nyt would benefit from continuing putins claim
Likely just grabbed the first people they could find that fit the description and then tortured confessions out of them (although only 3 out of 4 have confessed).
This is a huge embarrassment for the FSB and these guy's heads aren't the only ones who will roll for this.
