FBI experts joined Latvian police in their investigation of the 17 August 2000 double bombing of the popular Centrs department store in downtown Rīga.
Published:
6 September 2000 y., Wednesday
The FBI is assisting in analyzing videotape materials recorded in the store prior to the blasts. No arrests have yet been made in the incident, which killed a 53-year-old woman and injured at least 34 other people. No one has yet claimed responsibility.
Police, however, are reportedly pursuing four different explanations for the bombing: organized crime, an act of terrorism, competition with the RIMI chain of stores (to which the Centrs belongs) or an unrelated criminal act.
Director of the FBI Louis J Freeh is scheduled to visit the Baltic states later this month.
