The resident of St. Petersburg who planted a bomb under the car of the colonel in Shoshari managed to leave Russia.
Investigators were able to quickly determine who placed the improvised explosive device in the bottom of the vehicle, resulting in the serviceman's death.
According to the Fontanka website, the bomb was planted around one in the morning. Within two hours, the 31-year-old resident of St. Petersburg was in Pulkovo, from where he flew to Turkey. The Russian security forces contacted their colleagues and discovered that the suspect had left the territory of the republic.
It should be noted that the bomb was activated remotely. The device can detonate on its own, triggered by movement, or with the help of a third party that has tracked the vehicle's movement using a GPS tracker built into the payload. The colonel managed to drive the car about 300 meters, and then there was an explosion.
