| 'Death to Jews' sign in Moscow was booby trapped... |
| 2002-05-27 |
| A woman was hospitalized Monday with severe burns from an explosion that went off while she was trying to tear down a roadside sign outside Moscow reading "Death to Jews," police said. The woman was in critical but stable condition after the incident on the Kiev highway about 18 miles southwest of the capital. The woman had been driving along the highway when she spotted a sign hand-painted with black letters reading "Death to Jews" posted by the roadside. She stopped her car and tried to pull the sign out of the earth, and was hit by the explosion. A traffic police investigator confirmed that the blast was caused by an explosive device. Could be skinheads, but it's probably slightly more likely that it was Chechens or their sympathizers. Just the sign, skinheads; just the bomb, skinheads; both together probably takes a 3-digit IQ. |
