Alleged affiliation with ISIS

The Redovka Telegram channel, ANSA reported, also posted a video that will be linked to the story, which has not yet been verified, in which an alleged troublemaker is seen in an office holding a knife to the throat of a kneeling guard and claiming to be acting on his behalf. Three other guards can be seen lying dead nearby. The man holding the knife to the guard’s throat recites the creed in Arabic and says: “We are the mujahideen of the Islamic State.”
