TRUCK DRIVER NOT IMPLICATED IN CRIMEAN BRIDGE EXPLOSION

RUSSIAN investigators’ preliminary findings suggest that the dead driver of the truck that exploded on the Crimean Bridge last Saturday may not have known he was carrying explosives for staging the terrorist attack, a source told Sputnik on Thursday.

“It is probable that the driver did not know that he was executing a criminal order,” the source said.

Russia’s National Antiterrorism Committee said a truck was blown up on the Crimean Bridge, which caused seven fuel tanks of a freight train to catch fire and two car spans to partially collapse.

President Vladimir Putin condemned the bombing of the bridge, describing it as a terrorist attack aimed at destroying Russian civilian infrastructure. | Sputnik
