MOSCOW (Sputnik) - The terrorist attack was carried out at the Crocus City Hall concert venue just outside Moscow on March 22 and was followed by a huge fire outbreak.
The whole world supports Russia following the recent terrorist attack on the Crocus City Hall concert venue near Moscow, Guinea-Bissau's Ambassador in Moscow Alfredo Cristovao Gomes Lopes told Sputnik.
"This is a terrorist attack that has been condemned by the whole world without exception; the whole world is with Russia in this tragedy," the ambassador said.
Guinea-Bissau is ready to help Russia in the fight against international terrorism.
"As far as possible, my country is ready to help in the fight against terrorism. Russia helped Guinea-Bissau in gaining independence. It is natural that we are ready to help Russia as much as we can," he added.
Earlier in the day, the ambassador took part in a collective visit by foreign diplomats in Moscow to the site of the deadly attack on the concert hall in the city of Krasnogorsk. About 130 diplomatic missions took part in the event, including the ambassadors of the United States, EU member-states, countries in Asia, Africa and Latin America, as well as representatives of the United Nations and other international organizations, the Russian Foreign Ministry's Protocol Department told Sputnik.

Russian Investigators Say Identified 134 Victims of Crocus City Hall Attack, DNA Tests Continue
On March 22, several armed men broke into the Crocus City Hall and started shooting at people. They also started a fire in one of the chambers, full of people ahead of a concert. The attack left 695 casualties, including 144 deaths, according to the latest data from the Russian Emergencies Ministry.
The four main suspects in the case — all citizens of Tajikistan — tried to flee the scene in a car but were detained and charged with terrorism. Russian authorities believe their plan was to flee to Ukraine, where the masterminds of the attack had arranged a safe haven for them. An investigation is under way.
