ProTV quotes Prosecutor General Valeriu Zubco as saying that authorities have released the person suspected of detonating a grenade during a City Day concert in downtown Chisinau last Wednesday. About 40 people were hurt.
Mr. Zubco noted that police had no evidence proving the suspect had committed the crime and that the young man had a strong alibi. Authorities have called the detonation a "terrorist" act and are now looking for other suspects.
The search has been very difficult because the attack happened at night, in the middle of hundreds of people. A few witnesses noted that the man who threw the grenade fired a few gunshots, threw the grenade, and then ran away. He was dressed in dark clothing. No other details seem to be available.
Thus far, authorities have refrained from making political statements about the act, despite the fact that analysts like Igor Botan have suggested that the terrorist attack could have political consequences.
