Mysterious assassination attempt: Russian General Kirillov shakes Moscow!
In a dramatic incident in Moscow, Russian General Igor Kirillov, known as the head of Russia's Extreme Threat Protection Forces, was killed in a targeted attack on Tuesday morning. Kirillov and his aide Ilya Polikarpov died when an explosive device hidden in an electric scooter detonated as the general left his home. The investigation revealed that the bomb was remotely detonated by a suspect who was said to have been recruited for the attack by Ukrainian special forces, according to several Russian news portals, including Vienna.at, reported.
The day after the attack, two suspects were arrested, including a 29-year-old Uzbek man who appears to be responsible for planning and carrying out the attack. Russian authorities used surveillance cameras to identify the suspects' vehicles. Media reports emphasize that there may have been a $100,000 reward for carrying out the attack, making the criminal activity even more frightening. The Uzbek confessed to being recruited and claimed that he had been promised escape to a European country if he completed the task successfully, as well t-online.de reported.
