Today, Russian television broadcast footage of the interrogation after the arrest of four suspected attackers who attacked a concert hall in the suburbs of Moscow on Friday and killed 133 people.

Russian authorities announced today that 11 people, including four alleged attackers, foreign nationals, were arrested in the Bryansk region, which borders Ukraine and Belarus.

Russian public broadcaster Pervi Kanal showed a video showing the suspects being taken away by armed policemen, three of whom had bloody faces.

Warning Disturbing video:

One of the suspects has a large white bandage around his head and blood on his right ear.

In the recording of the interrogation, two suspects admit their guilt, and one says that they worked for money.

According to Russian media and MP Alexander Hinstein, some of the suspects are from Tajikistan, a former Soviet republic in Central Asia that borders Afghanistan, where the Islamic State group, which claimed responsibility for the attack in Moscow, is active.

The investigators did not mention the nationality of the suspects, only that they were not Russian.

Pervi Kanal also broadcast a segment of footage of the interrogation of a man with a bloody bandage around his right ear.

That television station did not mention another video broadcast on social networks, the authenticity of which AFP could not verify, showing a man with black hair and a light brown T-shirt on the floor with part of his ear cut off.

The off-camera person then tries to get him to put that piece of ear in his mouth and punches him in the cheek.

For his part, the leader of Chechnya, a republic in the Russian Caucasus, Ramzan Kadyrov indicated that Chechen soldiers, who have been deployed for months in the Bryansk region to secure the border with Ukraine, participated in the arrest of the suspects.

Belarus, an ally of Moscow, also said it took part in operations to prevent attackers from leaving Russian territory across the common border.

None of the videos mention Ukraine or the Islamic State.
