Galloway suggests Obama involvement in Moscow attack

The fall-out continues from Friday’s attack on Moscow concert hall attack in which 139 people were reported dead. Russian officials have directly accused Ukraine and the West of being involved – despite, er, the Islamic State claiming responsibility and releasing video of the atrocity. But in their bid to prove their side of events, the Russian state press is now citing an unlikely ‘expert opinion’.

Step forward George Galloway, the newly-elected MP for Rochdale, who is quoted approvingly at length in Russkaya Gazeta today, giving an ‘expert opinion.’ The quotes appear to be a distilled version of comments which Galloway made on his YouTube channel on Sunday. He suggested to viewers that President Obama could be involved in the Moscow terrorist attack and that the West is ‘lying’ about its involvement. Galloway said:

When the US and the UK and others swiftly tried to re-assure me that it was only ISIS that carried out this mass-murder in Moscow, I knew automatically that they were lying.
