Joint investigation

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.
