Moscow Cops Foil Car Bomb Plot
Russian officials say police in Moscow have defused a car bomb that was to be placed along a road often used by government officials.
They're learning...
Authorities say they stopped a man they had become suspicious of early Saturday in the Russian capital and found he was driving a car wired with explosives. Police say the driver appeared to be intoxicated and told them he had been paid $1,000 to park cars packed with explosives along the street.
This man worked cheap. Only $1000?
"Yeah. Wash wrong widdat? People gimme $1000 to park carsh for 'em all the time!"
"And da bestest t'ing is, I don't hafs to bring dem back!"
The Itar-Tass news agency quotes the man as saying the explosives were to have been set off as participants in an international mayors' conference approached.
I'll bet the Moscow cops don't worry about the ACLU whining about racial profiling...
Itar-Tass says the 38-year-old man was from the St. Petersburg area. News agency reports say he later died of a heart attack.
"Sergei! Sergei! That's too much electricity. He's not moving! We haven't finished questioning him yet..."
"He's dead, Dzhim!"
Russia has been on alert following a series of recent terrorist attacks, including a school siege that killed at least 338 people, scores of them children.
New measures of alert are paying off, I see...
