Yet, it brought no results, as informed sources of Kommersant reported. Separately, more modest activities in other city districts were a success: two more participants of the attack were arrested, sources of Kommersant say. One of the detainees admitted that he had received 50,000 rubles (some $2,000) for the part in the slaughter.
