Russian state media released a series of videos showing the detention and brief interrogation of some of the suspects in Friday’s bloody terror attack at a concert hall outside Moscow that killed at least 137 people, including three children.
Russia’s Federal Security Service (FSB) earlier on Saturday announced the arrest of 11 people, including four suspected attackers, in connection with Friday’s attack. All four shooters are foreigners, including citizens of Tajikistan.
One of the videos shows the suspects in the Crocus City Hall shooting being taken to the headquarters of the Russian Investigative Committee in Moscow.
Footage released by the committee shows Russian authorities, dressed in camouflage, grabbing and pushing at least three blindfolded men into the building.
The video shows two of the men with their heads pressed against a wall and their hands cuffed behind their backs.
Another video shows the face of one of the suspects, who claims he was born in 1998. Investigators ask him what he was doing in Turkey, and he says his documents expired there.

When asked what he was doing at Crocus City Hall, Faridoon replied that he was shooting people for money. He was promised 1 million rubles ($10,800), but he could not identify who paid him for the attack.
In another video released by Russian authorities, one of the detainees identifies himself as Rajab Alizadeh.
Another video, this time released by Russian state television editor Margarita Simonyan, shows a man lying on his stomach with his hands tied behind his back, his chin resting on the boot of a figure in camouflage uniform.
