The account that appeared to take credit for the Vienna terror attack (before being suspended) has a photo that overlapped with the avatar photo on this (alleged) ISIS account.
This appears to be the profile image of the account holder who (appeared to) take credit for the Vienna attacks - and threatened more. The account tweeted in English and Russian before being suspended.
Here are some cached tweets from the account
This was the other account from which he (or someone else using the same name and photo - but the photo is unique and doesn't appear anywhere else on the internet) tweeted the threats a couple of hours ago.
So it appears that this account (or group of accounts) have been consistently posting pro-ISIS propaganda and have been taken down after being reported. Thus it doesn't have to be linked to events in Vienna; likely just a propaganda troll taking credit.

In a video address to court recorded October 22, indicted suspect Pulatov claims he said things on the phone shortly after the MH17 shoot-down that were "meant to mislead the enemy". Funny because there's no reason to mislead the enemy that you shot down a commercial airliner. Image
"Whenever we said nonsense like "we have a BUK" that was meant to mislead the enemy that we have more superiority than we did" << ouch. Borat-level cringeworthy.
Hard to watch his lawyer's face as she has to pretend she buys it. Image

A friend was telling me an anecdote of how dizygotic (nonidentical) twins of a friend were able to mutually unlock their phones using face recognition. I remembered that actually that's a bug that helped us identify a GRU spy a couple of years ago.
We only had a photograph of him under his fake name. The Russian government had deleted all records of him under his real name once they knew we were onto unit 21955. But they didn't delete his twin sister's passport file. Borderline ethically we used her photo to compare to his.
But totally ethically we never published that photo, not used the finding as basis of our final identification. It was very useful insight though.

In other news, Macron said today we should involve this government in deciding the fate of the people of Belarus
Contrary to the attitude of his own government and @realDonaldTrump, the level of concern and offers of support for @navalny from the rest of the world is overwhelming. Offers of help came also from the Bulgarian doctors who in 2015 treated Emilian Gebrev, poisoned by GRU.
The Kremlin has waged a multilayered war on @Navalny for years, including a psy-ops type I haven't seen before. It could be described as "discrediting through false-flag endorsement". Several times Kremlin or its proxies have tried to "leak" false info that he is a Kremlin puppet

This is totally incredible. This "job interview" with an ex Wagner (unfakeable - definitely authentic) drags all details out of him; including how many times he shot down planes, and what Russian military awards he got that. This is an incredible coup by SBU
He sent copies of his awards, and boasted Surkov personally handed the awards at the Kremlin
And a medal "For services to the Fatherland" signed by Putin.

Ukrainian site censor.net, citing security sources, provides a version of events surrounding the arrest - and then release - of 32 RU mercenaries who traveled to Belarus end of July. The story appears more plausible than either the Belarus or Russian claims so far.
The arrival of the "Wagnerites" to Belarus was indeed a covert operation by Ukraine's SBU and GUR (military intel). It had been planned over a year. The goal was to detain approximately 28 wanted unlawful combatants, 9 of whom Ukrainian citizens, and 2 linked to #MH17.
To this end, Ukraine's secret services indeed brought back to life a disused St. Petersburg private military company (MAR), and engineered a sophisticated game plan to recruit over a hundred ex mercenaries - while their targets were specifically the 28 wanted persons.

Re: Belarus, I remember we thought the Romanians were way too passive and ready to eat shit forever until one day they just weren't.
