Islamic State Carried Out Three Major Terrorist Attacks In 3 Weeks

Time: ISIS Carried Out Three Major Terrorist Attacks in 3 Weeks

Russia's confirmation that its airliner was bombed shows that the Paris attacks were part of a larger strategy

Russia’s security services said on Tuesday that that a homemade explosive device brought down the Russian passenger jet that crashed in Egypt’s Sinai Peninsula in October, belatedly confirming that the 224 passengers were the first in a series of victims of ISIS attacks.

The pronouncement by the head of Russia’s FSB security service largely lays to rest speculation about the cause of the crash that killed 224 people on Oct. 31, although an international investigation is ongoing in Egypt. Prior to Tuesday’s announcement, Russia had resisted assigning a cause for the crash.

The declaration also means that the Islamic State in Iraq and Greater Syria (ISIS) has claimed responsibility for three catastrophic attacks on civilians outside of its normal arena of its operations in under three weeks. Along with last week’s deadly attacks in Paris and Beirut, the attacks signal an intent to inflict massive civilian casualties far beyond the group’s territorial core in Iraq and Syria.
