| 11.07.200607:58 (GMT) | Vladimir Antyufeyev, Minister of State security of the self-proclaimed Trandnestrian republic, has announced the award of USD 10,000 for the information on the criminals who have blown up the taxi bus in Tiraspol last Thursday. Antyufeyev was speaking to journalists in Tiraspol on Monday calling them "to not hurry up with conclusions" before the end of investigation, according to ITAR-TASS news agency. He has noted that the commission of experts of the FSB of Russia, and also the Ukrainian colleagues would find out the reason of the explosion. It is worth mentioning that Antyufeyev, in difference from some other Transdnestrian officials, has denied allegations on possible connection in the bomb bast of secret services of Moldova. "There is no objective bases to state this", news agencies quote him as saying. However, not to sound too much different, he has added that "it is impossible to completely exclude such variant, as they (secret services of Moldova) are ready for everything", Interfax reports. Antyufeyev has also not confirmed the earlier statements of other local officials that this (the taxi bus explosion) has been done "with the purpose of destabilization of situation in Transdnestria".
The head of the commission of experts of the FSB that has arrived to Transdnestria for examining the circumstances of explosion, Lieutenant-Colonel Nikolay Savitsky has excluded an opportunity that the explosives used in the device have been obtained from the Russian military depots in the Transdnestrian village of Kolbasna, Interfax adds, though, as one may understand, such a possibility at least theoretically does exist.
