Original Note:
No Russian report has said Rustam Azhiev was involved, the arrested man doesn't look like Azhiev. Rustam Azhiev was seen fighting in Belgorod 1 week prior to this terror attack and his battalion (Ajnad Al-Kavkaz) has previously denounced attacks against civilians. https://web.archive.org/web/20160707145833/http://www.chechensinsyria.com/?p=25145 https://www.kavkazr.com/a/v-ichkeriyskom-podrazdelenii-zayavili-o-zahvate-seljskoy-administratsii-v-belgorodskoy-oblasti-/32865163.html
