According to an unverified statement online, militant group Islamic State said it was behind the attack.
US officials told CBS, the BBC’s partner service in the US, that it had obtained intelligence that showed IS had wanted to attack Russia.
GWG.ng understands that the intelligence on the attack was passed off to Russia but officials there were said to have dismissed it as part of the euphoria around the elections that were about to be held at that time.
Russia’s National Guard said it had special units working at the scene to hunt down the attackers. Top Russian officials also headed to Krasnogorsk.
