BOMB IN ELECTRIC SCOOTER KILLS SENIOR RUSSIAN GENERAL–“Igor Kirillov and his assistant were killed”, says Investigative Committee
A bomb hidden in an electric scooter killed a senior Russian general in charge of nuclear protection forces in Moscow today, Russia’s investigative committee said.
Lieutenant General Igor Kirillov, who is chief of Russia’s Nuclear, Biological and Chemical Protection Troops, was killed outside an apartment building on Ryazansky Prospekt, southeast of the Kremlin.
The investigative committee said Igor Kirillov, the head of the radiation, chemical and biological protection forces of the armed forces of the Russian Federation, and his assistant were killed.
A criminal case has been opened as Russia’s radioactive, chemical and biological defence troops, known as RKhBZ, are special forces who operate under conditions of radioactive, chemical and biological contamination.
