The US did issue a terrorist attack alert in Russia earlier this month so they are probably waiting for the State Dept to tell them what to say before jumping the horse
Anyone who actually works in research would be for the sharing of knowledge. We're always short on funding, understaffed, and have fucking useless MBAs who have no clue how things work breathing down our necks. I just love being forced to use agile for everything and killing myself with work during scrums.
Rumors are that at least 31 civilians were killed, this is a very serious terrorist attack on Russia. China should also be wary of these attacks during reunification.

The US embassy in Russia warned that "extremists" had imminent plans for an attack in Moscow, hours after Russian security services said they had foiled a planned shooting at a synagogue by a cell from the Afghan arm of ISIS.
The embassy, which has repeatedly urged all US citizens to leave Russia immediately, gave no further details about the nature of the threat, but said people should avoid concerts and crowds and be aware of their surroundings.
"The Embassy is monitoring reports that extremists have imminent plans to target large gatherings in Moscow, to include concerts, and US citizens should be advised to avoid large gatherings over the next 48 hours," Reuters quoted the embassy as saying on its website.
It issued its warning several hours after Russia's Federal Security Service, the main successor to the Soviet-era KGB, said it had foiled an attack on a synagogue in Moscow by an ISIS cell.
It was unclear if the two statements were linked.
The FSB said the cell was operating in Russia's Kaluga region as part of the Afghan arm of the group, which is known as ISIS-Khorasan and seeks a “caliphate” across Afghanistan, Pakistan, Turkmenistan, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan and Iran.
The group first appeared in eastern Afghanistan in late 2014 and established a reputation for extreme brutality.
The cell "was preparing to attack the congregants of a synagogue using firearms," the FSB said.
When tackled, the militants offered resistance by Russian special forces and were "neutralized" by return fire, it said.
"Firearms, ammunition, as well as components for the manufacture of an improvised explosive device were found and seized," the FSB said.

A witness is claiming there was at least 20 terrorists involved. It sounds like a major escalation is about to happen soon.
