A Russian court will on Thursday sentence the gunmen of a Moscow concert hall attack that killed 150 people two years ago -- the country's deadliest in 20 years -- with 15 men facing possible life terms. Â
The attack on the Crocus City Hall in the suburbs of the Russian capital was the most fatal claimed by the Islamic State (IS) on the European continent.Â
