Igor Kirillov death: Russia says Uzbek citizen suspect detained in killing of general in Moscow

The Hindu  

A Russian intelligence agency said Wednesday that it has detained a suspect in the killing of a senior general in Moscow. Lt. General Igor Kirillov was killed on Tuesday by a bomb hidden in a scooter outside his apartment building in Moscow, a day after Ukraine’s security service leveled criminal charges against him. On Monday, Ukraine’s Security Service, or SBU, opened a criminal investigation against him, accusing him of directing the use of banned chemical weapons. He held numerous briefings to accuse the Ukrainian military of using toxic agents and planning to launch attacks with radioactive substances — claims that Ukraine and its Western allies rejected as propaganda. Russia’s top state investigative agency said it’s looking into Mr. Kirillov’s death as a case of terrorism, and officials in Moscow vowed to punish Ukraine.
