MOSCOW, March 29 (Xinhua) -- Russia's Investigative Committee said Friday it has found evidence that terrorists involved in the attack on a Moscow concert hall planned to cross into Ukraine to collect a reward.
"On the instructions of the coordinator, after committing the act, the terrorists drove in a car towards the Russian-Ukrainian border, only to cross it and then arrive in Kiev to collect the promised reward," the committee said on its Telegram.
He added that the man, who introduced himself under a pseudonym, helped coordinate the terrorists' actions both in the preparation phase and after the attack on the concert venue in Krasnogorsk near Moscow. He did so via audio messages sent on Telegram.
The committee also said a ninth suspect linked to the attack was arrested on Friday.
