Russia said a video released Monday by ISIS, showing a child shooting to death two men alleged to be Russian agents, resembled a “provocation.” The video, posted on Al-Hayat, the group’s media arm, was “doubtful,” Foreign Ministry spokesman Alexander Lukashevich said. “Our security services will be analyzing it closely. It looks like someone wanted to stage yet another provocation against Russia.” Russia’s Federal Security Service has declined to comment. The Russian Embassy in Syria said it couldn’t confirm whether any FSB agents have been killed, according to state news RIA Novosti. The video, in Russian with English and Arabic subtitles, showed the interrogation of the two men who confessed to working for the FSB. One of them, who said his name was Sergei Ashimov, said he’d been sent to assassinate an ISIS commander. The second man, Jambulat Mamayev, said he was from Kazakhstan and was on a mission to collect intelligence about Russian fighters and an ISIS commander. No bullet holes could be seen during the moment of execution if watched in slow motion and no blood was visible on the light gray clothes of the victims after they were shot.
