The death toll in the Moscow terror attack climbs to 133 as Russian President Putin claims all four gunmen are captured. Putin suggests a link to Ukraine, although no evidence is provided. ISIS claims responsibility, but Putin does not acknowledge it. Eleven suspects, including foreign nationals, are detained, with four directly involved. International condemnation follows, with the UN denouncing the "heinous" act. Questions arise over prior terror warnings ignored by Putin. US intelligence indicates ISIS affiliate ISKP planned the attack, potentially motivated by Russia's involvement in conflicts. The attack is the deadliest in Russia since the 2004 Beslan school siege.
