Armenian national among Moscow terror attack victims

An Armenian national has been confirmed dead in the wake of the terrorist attack at Moscow's Crocus City Hall, the Armenian Foreign Ministry reported on Monday.

The Russian media earlier identified the victim as Lilit Israelyan, 33, saying the woman and her husband Vugar Huseynov were killed in the concert hall attack on Friday.

Russia has charged four men in connection with the terrorist attack which killed at least 137 people, including three children.

Three were marched bent double into a Moscow court while the fourth was in a wheelchair. All were charged with committing an act of terrorism, the BBC said.

The Islamic State group, or IS, said it carried out Friday's outrage at Crocus City Hall, and posted video evidence.
