Russ train wreckage boobytrapped
Russia's top investigative body says its chief was injured by a bomb that went off as he and colleagues were scouring the wreckage of a passenger train that derailed due to an earlier blast.The last three carriages of the Nevsky Express left the tracks late on Friday, killing 26 and injuring dozens more in what officials consider a terrorist bombing. Russian Railways says a second explosion occurred on Saturday as officials investigated the wreckage site. The federal Investigative Committee said on Tuesday its chief Alexander Bastrykin was hurt in the blast. A statement on the committee's Web site says the blast was remotely detonated. Russian news agencies reported that Bastrykin's injury was not serious. Posted by: Fred 2009-12-02 |
