Russia’s state news agency TASS has published new details from the case file surrounding the deadly March 2024 Crocus City Hall attack in Moscow, which killed at least 145 people.
According to the report, one of the convicted attackers, Rajab-Alizadeh, who received a life sentence for his role in the assault, allegedly obtained an Afghan passport in early 2024 while in Aksaray, Turkey.
Case documents reportedly state that after being recruited into ISIS-K in Tajikistan, he was guided through networks linked to the group for relocation, training, and operational preparation.
The report further alleges that while in Turkey, he stayed in accommodations used by individuals preparing to join ISIS and received armed attack-related training through online resources.
The Crocus City Hall attack on March 22, 2024, was among the deadliest ISIS-linked attacks in the region and renewed international scrutiny over ISIS-K recruitment pipelines, logistical movement, and transnational operational methods.
The newly released details appear to focus less on nationality alone and more on the broader infrastructure of recruitment, facilitation, and militant preparation across multiple countries.
