CIA veteran: US and British intel agencies likely behind Dagestan and Sevastopol attacks
💬 "The likelihood that there was a CIA and/or MI6 involvement is very high," Larry Johnson, retired CIA intelligence officer and State Department official, told Sputnik. "I don't think it's just a coincidence that you had the attack in Sevastopol coincide with this series of attacks in Dagestan. At a minimum, it would have been a CIA incitement. But you can't rule out that there was actual contact training."
On June 23 unknown gunmen opened fire on two churches, a synagogue and a traffic police post in the cities of Derbent and Makhachkala in Russia's Dagestan Republic. The attacks claimed the lives of 20 people, including 15 policemen, civilians and an Orthodox priest.
It coincided with the Ukrainian military strike using US-made ATACMS missiles with cluster warheads on Sevastopol earlier in the day, which killed four and injured 153 civilians.
According to the CIA veteran, the West's efforts to divide Russia and undermine its leadership will have an opposite effect — it will make the country more united and more willing to go after those who attacked it.

"The West, in concert with Ukraine… [has] decided to shift its focus to trying to promote terrorist attacks in Russia and to do a variety of acts, everything from the missile strikes to these kinds of attacks on religious institutions and security forces, with the goal being to create domestic unrest," Johnson said.
