A Russian general was killed by a car bomb in southern Moscow on Monday, Russian investigators said, adding that they suspected Ukrainian special services could have been behind the attack. The bomb exploded under the Kia Sorento car driven by Lieutenant General Fanil Sarvarov, head of the Russian General Staff's army operational training directorate, as he left a parking space at 06.55am Moscow time (0355 GMT). Russia's State Investigative Committee said Sarvarov had died from his injuries. It published a video of the wrecked vehicle, with blood visible on the driver's seat and one of the doors blown off.
