(Classic) Russian expert killed on live tv while defusing chechen bomb

Moscow, Russia - April, 2003

A Russian bomb disposal expert has been killed when a bomb he was trying to defuse by hand exploded in central Moscow.

Russian media report that a woman took the bomb into a crowded restaurant in a bag and threatened to blow it up, before it was seized from her.

Security officers failed to dispose of the device by remote control and it detonated when an officer was trying to defuse it manually.

The woman has been detained and is being investigated for possible links with Chechen suicide bombers who killed 14 people at an outdoor rock concert over the weekend.
