MOSCOW (AP) — Russia’s top investigative body says that another suspect has been detained as an accomplice in the attack by gunmen on a suburban Moscow concert hall that killed 143 people. A statement from the Investigative Committee said Thursday that the latest person detained was involved in financing Friday’s attack on the Crocus City concert hall in which gunmen shot people who were waiting for a show by a popular rock band and then set the building on fire. It did not give further details of the suspect’s identity or alleged actions. Officials previously said that 11 suspects had been arrested.
