Two people were killed and about 20 people injured in an explosion, described as a "terrorist act" by authorities, at the largest bazaar in Uzbekistan's capital Tashkent on Monday, police said. "The terrorist act struck Chorsu bazaar in the Old City," a police official told Reuters. Foreign Ministry spokesman Ilham Zakirov said the explosion was one of several attempts to conduct terrorist acts. It took place outside a large children's store.

"We have detained the culprits. They are currently being interrogated. Right now it is only clear that this is a pre-planned action and there is someone behind it... Who? We do not know at the moment," he said.
| My first guess would be IMU. Second would be Hizb ut-Tahrir. |
The Russian news agency Itar-Tass, reporting from Tashkent, said preliminary information suggested the explosion had been caused by a female suicide bomber, but this could not immediately be confirmed. |
