Kremlin concerned about blasts in Dagestan, special services taking countermeasures - spokesman

MOSCOW. March 31 (Interfax) - The motives behind the latest bomb attacks in Dagestan should be analyzed by the Russian National Antiterrorist Committee (NAC), Russian presidential press secretary Dmitry Peskov said when asked whether the Kremlin is concerned about two consequent bomb attacks in Dagestan, for which ISIL, a terrorist group banned in Russia, has taken responsibility, and whether this could be seen as revenge for the liberation of Palmyra in Syria.

"On the whole, whether this is revenge or not, this question should be addressed to the NAC, but such incidents cannot but cause concerns," Peskov said.

The antiterrorist services "are taking all the necessary measures to counter" terrorist attacks, Peskov said.
