 Terrorism wasn't involved in a pair of bomb blasts that rocked the pro-presidential party's office in Kazakhstan's commercial capital, police said Monday.
| "No, no! Certainly not! We have no terrorism in Kazakhstan!" |
Two explosions ripped through the Otan party's office Sunday in the nation's biggest city Almaty, wounding a pedestrian and blowing out windows, the Almaty Interior Department said in a statement. "Terrorism isn't considered as one of the motives for the explosions," the department said. Police said "hooliganism" was the most likely cause. Explosives were placed in a phone booth outside the party's office, and on the window sill of the building's first floor, police said. Nobody was in the building when the bombs went off. |
