According to articles they've been trying to perpetrates an attack in Moscow for at least the last month.

Im so confused honestly. Firstly, didn't they basically get defeated to the point of only having a few small pockets of control in Syria? Secondly, why Moscow of all places??

The thing to keep in mind about ISIS is it’s multiple groups working together- the main group of ISIS in Syria is pretty much dead, with almost all of their territory taken back by either the coalition against them or a Syrian faction. Their allied groups in other regions are still around, and still using the same branding and tactics, just with different places and populations.
