Police defuse bomb in Talinn apartment

Estonian police yesterday defused a bomb in the Tallinn apartment of a man who had apparently planned to use it to commit suicide.

Security Police would not identify the suspect by name, as is customary in Estonia, but said he was 44 years old and was a native Russian speaker living on Pae Street in an area that has seen a series of explosions, some fatal, over the past 10 years.
