Belarus explosion wounds 50
ISN SECURITY WATCH (Friday, 23 September: 10.10 CET) - At least 50 people have been wounded in a late Thursday bomb blast outside a cafe in a town northeast of the Belarusian capital of Minsk, news agencies quoted officials as saying.
Police said the bomb - which was packed with shrapnel and set off in Vitebsk, near the border with Russia - was believed to be the work of a criminal gang.
News agencies cited an Emergency Ministry spokesman as saying that an investigation was underway, and that terrorism had been ruled out.
It was the second such incident to occur in Vitebsk in ten days. Two people were wounded last week in an explosion.
