    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.
