Moscow terror attack: Russian rescuers work on ruins of concert hall

Russian officials have called for the reintroduction of capital punishment for terrorists after an attack by Islamic State killed at least 137 people in Moscow, and injuring 182.

The suspects are accused of taking part in the attack on Friday in which four gunmen burst into the Crocus City concert hall, which has a capacity of 6,200, and opened fire at random with automatic weapons. Isis has since claimed responsibility and released a graphic video of the attack. It was the deadliest act of terrorism yet by Isis in Europe and the worst in Russia for 20 years.
