The United States has intelligence confirming Islamic State’s claim of responsibility for a deadly shooting at a concert near Moscow, a US official says.

The official says the United States had warned Russia in recent weeks about the possibility of an attack.

“We did warn the Russians appropriately,” says the official, speaking on condition of anonymity, without providing any additional details.
