In a nighttime address, Putin called the attack "a bloody, barbaric terrorist act" and said Russian authorities captured four suspects on Saturday as they were trying to escape to Ukraine through a "window" prepared for them on the Ukrainian side of the border.
Russian media broadcast videos that apparently showed the detention and interrogation of the suspects, including one who told the cameras he was approached by an unidentified assistant to an Islamic preacher via a messaging app and paid to take part in the raid.

Two weeks before Friday’s attack on the Russian concert hall, the U.S. embassy issued a warning to Americans to "avoid large gatherings," including concerts, because of "imminent plans" for an attack by "extremists."

"The Embassy is monitoring reports that extremists have imminent plans to target large gatherings in Moscow, to include concerts, and U.S. citizens should be advised to avoid large gatherings over the next 48 hours," stated the March 7 alert.
