A bomb that exploded inside the Intercession Church in Zaporozhye, Ukraine yesterday (July 28, 2010) -- killing a nun -- was a homemade device, the Interfax-Religion website reports today.
The device was a metal saucepan 18 centimeters in diameter filled with aluminum powder and saltpeter, Vyacheslav Pavlov, the prosecutor, said. Pavlov added that the bomb had been equivalent in powder to 200 grams of TNT.
The bomb had been placed near the bench on which nun Lyudmila -- who worked at the church -- was sitting when it went off.
The cathedral belongs to the Ukrainian Orthodox Church that comes under the Moscow Patriarchate.
