Dec. 22 (UPI) -- A senior Russian general in charge of training was killed by car bomb outside his home Monday morning in the Moscow suburbs. Authorities said the attack may have been carried out by Ukrainian intelligence.
Lt. Gen. Fanil Sarvarov, 56, head of the Operational Training Directorate at the General Staff, died of his injuries after a device planted beneath his vehicle detonated at an apartment building in south Moscow, Investigative Committee spokeswoman Svetlana Petrenko told TASS.
She said investigators were on the scene and a murder investigation had been launched, as well as an explosives trafficking probe, with multiple lines of inquiry being pursued.
"One of them is that the crime was organized by the Ukrainian security agencies," said Petrenko.
