Watch above as a Russian MP reveal the plans behind the execution
VLADIMIR Putin is planning to have the ISIS terrorists behind the Moscow attack executed - despite the death penalty being illegal in Russia.
The tyrant allegedly wants to have the four suspects behind the horrific Moscow massacre blindfolded and shot in the head.

Vlad is going to try to get his way as he is reportedly in talks with sending the suspects to Belarus - where they still execute prisoners.
It has been reported that the four men accused by Russia of carrying out the shooting could face life imprisonment in the notorious Black Dolphin Prison.
But a Putin-loyalist MP has now revealed Vlad's possible plan to have the suspected ISIS members killed - without him having to change the law.
Russia has had a moratorium on death penalty in place since 1996 - and so the Kremlin may attempt to exploit a loophole.

Belarus - the only European country with legal execution - is Russia's long-standing ally and part of a "union state".
Two Belarusians were among the 144 killed in the Moscow attack which gives Putin a perfect excuse to try the suspects in the neighbouring nation.
If convicted, the condemned men will be blindfolded and forced to kneel before a shot is fired Stalin-style to the back of their heads.
Maria Butina - an MP for pro-Putin United Russia party - said that the two countries are in talks and praised Belarus dictator Lukashenko's support.

She told Belarusian TV 1: “In this case…the murder of two or more persons, you have exactly the same right to try these people as the Russian Federation….
“The competent authorities are already [working] on this matter [so the suspects could face the death penalty].
“A moratorium on the death penalty has been introduced in Russia.
“Let’s wait and see, because negotiations are now underway.”
Putin's cops parade ISIS terrorists who killed 137 in Moscow massacre 'after chopping one's ear off & feeding it to him'
A wide range of crimes can be covered by the death sentence in Belarus.
Oleg Alkaev, former executioner, has lifted the secrecy veil over the exact method of executions under Putin's crony Lukashenko.
According to him, the convicts - dressed in striped robes - are brought one by one through the underground passage.
"They were shaking either from cold or from fear, and their crazy eyes radiated such genuine horror that it was impossible to look at them," Alkaev recalled.
With their hands still tied behind them, they anxiously await Lukashenko's verdict with the president rarely exercising his right to pardon.
The former executioner said: “The prosecutor habitually clarified the personal details of the person who stood in front of us, then just as habitually announced the refusal of a pardon…”
The inmates wear blindfolds to prevent them from orienting in the space.
They then are taken to a specially-equipped room where an executor is holding a pistol ready to fire.
“At the perpetrator’s signal, two employees in front of a special shield—a ‘bullet catcher’—lower the convict to his knees, after which the perpetrator shoots him in the back of the head," Alkaev explained.
Alkaev claimed that "undesirable" convicts are put to death last as a kind of retaliation, allowing him to hear the gunfire and the cries of the victims.
The bodies of individuals who are executed are buried in secret and are never returned to their relatives.
From 1996 to 2001, Alkaev oversaw the executions of 134 people - but now only one or two are carried out annually.
Moscow Crocus City Hall massacre
ON FRIDAY 22nd March four masked gunmen stormed a busy concert hall in Moscow, shooting down hundreds of innocent civilians.
In the deadliest attack Russia has seen for over 20 years, the ISIS-K terrorists killed at least 139 people and wounded almost 200 more.
Around 6,000 people were believed to have been inside the venue watching Russian rock band Picnic when the attack began.
The gunmen began shooting civilians at point-blank range - through glass doors, turnstiles and then the concert hall itself, traumatised witnesses said.
They even set fire to the building in an attempt to prevent anyone getting out alive.
And devastating footage showed piles of bodies outside the blackened concert venue on the western edge of Moscow.
The bodies of whole families were found with dead mothers embracing their dead children, Russian media reported.
ISIS claimed responsibility for the massacre and even released a picture apparently showing the four suspects posing next to the death cult's flag before storming the hall.
Russia's security service (FSB) launched a massive manhunt on Saturday to catch those responsible and detained 11 suspects, including the four men later hauled into court.
Twisted footage of their interrogations was later released online, showing one with his ear cut off and fed to him and another having his genitals electrocuted.
Overnight on Sunday they were dragged into a Moscow court to be sentenced, with grim pictures showing their bruised, bloody and unconscious faces in glass cages.
Putin's pal and security council deputy Dmitry Medvedev has called on the terrorists to be killed in a rage-filled threat before the trial.
Medvedev said of the suspects: “They were caught. Well done to everyone who caught them…
“Should they be killed? Necessary. And it will be.
“But it is much more important to kill everyone involved.
“Everyone, who paid, who sympathised, who helped. Kill them all.”
The notorious terror group stormed the building, unleashing hellfire with machine guns and sparking a blaze to stop survivors from getting out alive.
