    Many other embassies have done so too though. Local news here in Denmark speculate whether the attacks are planned by Putin to help him win the election by capturing the bad guys

      yeah, the article noted others. but, i was confused as to who was warning what, so I shared what the article had to say. figured I won’t be alone.

      FWIW, I did find a few articles online about Islamic state turning to attacks on Russia, so, it could be Russia playing games, or it could be real. or it could be Russia playing games and tricking IS into a real action it then foils.

      It was not the best headline (not your fault, obviously). I originally wondered if this had something to do with Ukraine.
