Four days after the deadly terrorist attack in Moscow, new elements have emerged, this time from Ankara.

Ednews informs that according to the information, the two detained suspects traveled to Moscow directly through Türkiye.

It should be noted that the information was discovered by Selin Senocak, the correspondent of the French publication "LeFigaro" in Istanbul.

Here are more details:

Four days after the deadly attack in Moscow claimed by the Islamic State in Khorasan (EI-K), new elements emerge, this time from Ankara.

According to a Turkish security source, cited by AFP, two of the suspects traveled freely between Russia and Türkiye, which they left together by plane on March 2 and then returned to Russia. “The two individuals were free to travel without hindrance between Russia and Türkiye in the absence of an arrest warrant against them,” specifies this official who prefers not to give his name. For the moment, the nationality of the two men has not been revealed. The portrait he draws, however, offers some additional details.

The first suspect, Shamsiddin Fariduni, entered Türkiye on February 20 before leaving eleven days later from Istanbul international airport. He would have stayed in a hotel in the district of Fatih, one of the oldest on the European side of Istanbul, popular with Syrian refugees and Caucasian communities and certain neighborhoods of which are known to be popular and traditional. According to this same source, the individual in question left his hotel on February 27 and posted a message “eight times on social media on February 23 from the Aksaray district”, in the heart of this district.
We believe that these two individuals were radicalized in Russia, given their short stay in Türkiye

The second suspect, named Saidakram Rajabalizoda, arrived in Istanbul on January 5 and also reportedly stayed in a hotel in Fatih, which he left on January 21. “He then left for Moscow on March 2 on the same flight as Shamsiddin Fariduni,” said the security source. Before specifying: “We believe that these two individuals were radicalized in Russia, given their short stay in Türkiye.”

The precision of this information illustrates the degree of surveillance which prevails in the Turkish megalopolis of 16 million inhabitants, hit hard by bloody attacks attributed to Daesh in recent years, including Atatürk airport and the Reina night in 2016. On several occasions in the past, videos from numerous surveillance cameras, in the street, as in shopping centers, have made it possible to identify certain suspects.
