The US was right to help Russia prevent an ISIS attack on St. Petersburg

If, as President Putin claimed on Sunday, the CIA provided Russia with intelligence about an imminent Islamic State attack on St. Petersburg, the Trump administration has nothing to be embarrassed about. Rather, they should be proud of the CIA’s great work.

This intelligence apparently allowed Russia’s domestic spy agency, the FSB, to arrest seven suspected members of an ISIS terrorist cell. The terrorists were apparently planning to use explosives and firearms to attack civilians at various tourist sites in St. Petersburg, Putin’s home city.
