Blast injures man suspected of planting bomb under car in Kyiv:
A man suspected of planting a bomb under the car of a Ukrainian security officer was severely injured overnight when the bomb exploded in the parking lot of a Kyiv shopping center.
Ukrainian media reports say the man was trying to install the explosives under a Chevrolet Evander automobile that belonged to a security officer who previously took part in military operations against Russia-backed separatists in eastern Ukraine.
According to police in Kyiv's Holosiyiv district, the man was taken to a hospital after the 2 a.m. explosion on April 4.
Authorities say an investigation has been launched in what is being treated as a case of attempted murder and illegally possessing explosives.
The authorities did not identify the suspected bomber, but some reports quoted investigators as saying he was not a Ukrainian citizen.
The owner of the car, whose name was not released, was not present at the time of the explosion. (UNIAN, Censor.net, and Ukraiyinska Pravda)
