Russia's FSB detains 3 suspects in connection with N Ossetia bombing
(Itar-Tass) -- Russian security services have detained three persons suspected of involvement in Thursday's terrorist act in Vladikavkaz, the capital of the North Caucasian region of North Ossetia, that took away the lives of sixteen people and left more than a hundred others wounded."Involvement of a number of individuals was established hot on the trail of the bombing and operative steps are being taken now," Alexander Bortnikov, the director of Russia's Federal Security Service FSB said. "We detained three suspects and continue working on this," he said. "This crime /the act of suicide bombing, in which a car staffed with 30 kg to 40 kg of TNT exploded near the city's market -- Itar-Tass/ is marked by especial cruelty as much as cynicism," Bortnikov said. "Peaceful residents, including children have been victimized and the rascals who did it shall be punished," he said. Alexander Khloponin, the Russian President's Plenipotentiary Representative in the North Caucasian Federal District said President Dmitry Medvedev has given an instruction to provide all the possible medical assistance and social support to the wounded survivors of the terrorist act. "We're working at full tilt now to fulfill the task," he said. Posted by: Fred 2010-09-10 |
