A Chinese citizen was killed and another injured in a grenade
attack in a Siberian city early Sunday, a Chinese diplomat
said.
An unidentified assailant threw a grenade at the two Chinese at
2:00 AM local time (17:00 GMT Saturday) in the eastern Siberian
city of Chita, Vice Consul Cui Shaochun told Xinhua by telephone
from Khabarovsk. The names of the dead and injured have not been
known yet, Cui said.
Earlier, the Interfax news agency reported citing a regional
police spokesman that one of the two Chinese was fatally wounded
and died at the scene and police were hunting for the attacker.
