An explosive device tore through the Balzi Rossi restaurant on Moscow's Kudrinskaya Square on Saturday evening during a private event, killing three people and wounding at least 21 others, police say. Russia's National Anti-Terrorism Committee says a woman tried to carry the device past a security guard at the entrance before it detonated, killing her, the guard, and a restaurant patron. Russian and Ukrainian channels report the event was a birthday party for a senior Russian general, a claim authorities have not officially confirmed. The Anti-Terrorism Committee has opened a terrorism investigation and ruled out an earlier gas leak theory. Source: AP, Al Jazeera, Bloomberg.
