we spoke to russia analyst martha macauley and security expert charles shubert for their thoughts on the attack. nobody in his right mind would take an a k $47.00. 10 to get into the early bianca and start firing at the guards is bound to be killed he knew that he could have gone into any restaurant and floated as many people as you like but that was not his objective he just wanted to kill those associated with the secret service is now the f.s.b. and if you killed one blue he would then say they have achieved my objective because i would be killed as well given that the target appears to have been dispiriting obviously so publicly linked with the security services in the state and given the timing on the almost at the anniversary of. the security forces day. be quite strong indications as to the motivation assuming that the government is a rational actor had this attack i think taken place against a more soft target which is usually the case with more explicit or overt terrorist acts then you would have expected i think far more casualties to have resulted. from. the e.u. or moscow
