SBU dismisses demand as pointless and hypocritical, ‘coming from the terrorist state itself’

Russia has demanded that Ukraine extradite a number of people, including the head of the country’s SBU security service, over claims they are connected with “terrorist” acts.

The SBU immediately dismissed the Russian demand as “pointless” and said the Russian foreign ministry had “forgotten” that Vladimir Putin was the subject of an international arrest warrant.

The Russian statement referred to the mass shooting this month at a concert hall outside Moscow in which 144 people died, but only in an oblique sense.

Islamic State claimed responsibility for the attack, and US officials said they had intelligence showing it was carried out by the network’s Afghan branch, Islamic State Khorasan Province, or Isis-K.

Russian investigators said last week they had found proof that the concert hall gunmen were linked to “Ukrainian nationalists”. Kyiv denies any connection with the attack.

    This is gonna piss off Islamic State no end. Imagine taking responsibility for something like this, and the country you did it to still blamed someone else.

    I’d be livid.

      Naw, ISIS is a bunch of cowards, they’d never have the balls to try to do it again, especially not to off Putin himself, who told me privately that Mohammed was a child rapist.

      That would be way too much for that band of pussies. It must have been Ukrainians, ISIS are fraidy cats that can’t do anything right. Prove me wrong, ISIS. Nya nya.

    Is there any moment in living memory when russia’s steaming excrement isn’t like a fireman’s hose turned on at full blast?
    This is the only thing they have to “offer” the world. A “culture” (more like a retrograde anti-culture) of misery.
