Moscow attack death toll rises to 'at least' 133

THE death toll of the Moscow concert massacre rose to at least 133 last night as Russia pointed the finger at Ukraine.

US intelligence has confirmed that Islamic State was responsible for Friday's atrocity - but in a televised address yesterday, President Vladimir Putin claimed Ukraine had helped the terrorists.

He said: "All the perpetrators, organisers and those who ordered this crime will be justly and inevitably punished.

"They tried to hide and moved towards Ukraine, where, according to preliminary data, a window was prepared for them from the Ukrainian side to cross the border."

Police have arrested 11 people, including four gunmen accused of launching the attack on Friday, which left 183 wounded.

Pictures showed the burned-out shell of Crocus City Hall, 12 miles from the Kremlin, as workers combed the wreckage for bodies and mourners left flowers outside.
