Ambassadors Lay Flowers At Site Of Moscow Concert Hall Massacre

Foreign diplomats in Russia laid flowers on March 30 at the site of last week’s attack on a suburban Moscow concert hall that killed 144 people. Those in attendance included ambassadors from the United States, EU countries, Africa, and Latin America. Russian state news agency RIA Novosti noted that the attendees included representatives of “unfriendly states.” Russian state news agency TASS reported that the number of people wounded in the attack was 551, quoting figures from the Moscow regional department of the Emergency Situations Ministry. Previous figures have been much lower and it did not explain the discrepancy.
