MOSCOW， Russia （Reuters） —— A bomb killed 10 people and wounded about 40 at a Moscow market on Monday.
Prosecutors said the attack was likely linked to organised crime， though terrorism could not be ruled out.
摘要： 俄羅斯莫斯科市檢察長肖明21日說，莫斯科東部切爾基佐夫市場爆炸事件造成的10名死者中有5名中國人。
Moscow's chief prosecutor Yuri Syomin said the blast was caused by a homemade bomb of a force equivalent to up to 1.2 kg （3 lb） of TNT explosive.
"We are not excluding that it was a terrorist attack …… （but） most likely it was a business or criminal settling of scores that was behind the explosion，" he told reporters at the market.
Syomin said the bomb may also have caused a nearby gas canister to explode， giving rise to earlier reports that a gas leak was to blame.
Police detained two people on suspicion of involvement in the bombing， Interfax news agency quoted a law enforcement source as saying.
About 40 people were taken to hospital after the blast tore through the market —— a densely packed maze of stalls in an east Moscow suburb dominated by traders from China， Vietnam and ex-Soviet Central Asia.
Earlier reports suggested eight were killed， but two of the wounded later died in hospital， said an Emergencies Ministry spokeswoman.
