Judging by the very, very little information we have so far, I have to say I suspect Chechen separatists over ISIL. But as I say, very little to go on.

The Chechens are also affiliated with ISIL now IIRC.

In recent years, most terrorist attacks in Russia - such as the 2010 Moscow metro bombing or the 2013 Volgograd bus/railway bombings - have usually been carried out by the "Caucasus Emirate".

The Caucasus Emirate was founded in 2007 by militant Chechen separatists. Internationally, they're affiliated with al-Qaeda, although some breakaway factions swore allegiance to ISIS.

I suspect ISIS and others will begin targeting Russia more however due to their involvement in Syria.

14 now. And - some heavily wounded. So - it will (most likely) be 15 or more..
