🏴❌🌐🇷🇺 — Coincidentally or not, this would be the third attack carried out by followers of the Black Flags against Christian & European Countries on 'March 22', 1 day after the Spring Equinox

🇧🇪 22 March 2016, Belgium:
➡️ Islamic State Terrorists launch a coordinate 2-phase Terror attacks in Brussels, capital of Kingdom of Belgium and Heart of the European Union. Terrorists detonated bombs at Brussels Airport in Zaventem just outside Brussels, and one detonate another bomb on a train leaving Maelbeek/Maalbeek metro station in the European Quarter of Brussels.

Total: 35 Killed, including 3 Terrorists KIA, 340 injured

🇬🇧 22 March, 2017, United Kingdom:
➡️ Khalid Masood, a 52-year-old Salafi Migrant, takes his car and intentionally starts to run over civilians and pedestrians at the pavement along the south side of Westminster Bridge and Bridge Street, injuring dozens of them, outside the seat of the British Parliament.

He was then shot by an armed police officer, and died there agonizing.

His motivation: Western Coalition strikes against Islamic State in Syria which he perceived as a "Crusade against the defenders of Sunnah and the soldiers of Khilafah"

Result: 6 killed (4 pedestrians, 1 British Police officer and the terrorist), and 48 injured.

🇷🇺🇹🇯🏴⁉️ — Russian Media reports that the identities of four of the six alleged terrorists who carried out the shooting at Crocus City Hall have become known.

1) Nasridinov Makhmadrasul 37 years old
2) Ismonov Rivozhidin 51 years old
3) Safolzoda Shokhinjonn 21 years old
4) Nazarov Rustam 29 years old.

All suspects are citizens of Tajikistan. They were registered in the Yaroslavl, Ivanovo and Samara regions.

🇷🇺❌🏴 — Russian State Media published a footage showing the work of the Russian Investigative Committee at the site of the terrorist attack in Crocus

During the video, Russian officials are seen collecting evidence of the site

Interestingly, the video shows one of the weapons used by the Terrorists during the terror attack in Moscow.
As noted by our friends from War Noir, the weapon showed is a rare early variant (Gen 1) modern AK-12 assault rifle, with 5.45x39mm magazines & ammo also being seized.

The weapon was not the first freshness - after shooting it “let loose dragons”.
This is a sign that the bore or receiver itself is destroyed from the inside and produces sparks, that is, the weapon has not been used for a long time and has not been stored properly.

1. Bayonet thread for DTK;
2. Gas regulator on the tube;
3. Rear sight on the receiver cover;
4. Fire translator;
5. Button for folding the shoulder rest (on the other side);
6. shoulder rest;

The shoulder rest, pistol grip, and receiver cover with picatinny rail are also visible.

Interestingly, very few armies in the world use the AK-12, these include:
— 🇷🇺 Russian Federation and the Pro-Russian separatists of the Donbass republics, supplied for them by Russian Government
— 🇰🇿 Kazakhstan (In small quantities)
— 🇧🇾 Belarus (In small quantities)
— 🇶🇦 Emirate of Qatar (Used by the Royal Guard)
— 🇺🇦 Ukraine, with these being captured from Russian troops.

Notably, speaking from a black markets™ enthusiast's point of view, this type of weapon is a very rare specimen to appear in the hands of common smugglers operating in Ukrainian and Russian border regions.

Perhaps a coincidence of destiny.
Perhaps.
