“A national of Uzbekistan, born in 1995, was arrested on suspicion of having committed the attack that cost the life of the commander of Russian radiological, chemical and biological defence forces, Igor Kirillov, and his assistant, Ilya Polikarpov”, the Investigative Committee said in a statement.
Kirillov and his assistant were killed on Tuesday as they walked out of a Moscow apartment building early in the morning, after an explosive device attached to a scooter went off.
The man was promised $100,000 to carry out the attack, as well as the possibility to settle “in a European country”, the statement said.
The blast went off in a residential area in southeast Moscow a day after President Vladimir Putin hailed Russian troop successes in Ukraine.
A source in Ukraine’s SBU security service told AFP on Tuesday that it was behind the early morning explosion in what it called a “special operation”, calling Kirillov a “war criminal”.
