The attack has fuelled anti-migrant sentiments and drawn calls from Russian hawks to limit immigration.
President Vladimir Putin has vowed to track down the masterminds of the Moscow concert hall attack that left 144 people dead, and urged law enforcement agencies to tighten security at mass gatherings.
“It’s inadmissible to use the tragic event to provoke ethnic tensions, xenophobia and Islamophobia,” he said. Mr Putin urged the Interior Ministry to tighten controls on illegal migration and close loopholes in existing procedures that allow people with a criminal past to get work permits and even Russian citizenship.
“It’s important to do that in order to take ensuring security and order at mass gatherings, sports facilities, transport, trade and recreational centres, schools, hospitals, universities, theatres and so on to a new level. All those facilities must be under constant control.”
