ISIS-K's Motive Behind the Moscow Attack Linked to Anti-Shia Stance
ISIS-K's attack on Moscow is motivated by its view of Russia as propping up Shia Islam, aligning with Assad, and cooperating with Iran and Hezbollah. Historical perceptions of Russian violence against Muslims, dating back to the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan and conflicts in the North Caucasus, also contribute to ISIS-K's actions.
