Moscow – A man suspected of killing a Russian general with a car bomb pleaded guilty to terrorism charges and said he was paid by the Ukrainian Security Service, Russian authorities said Sunday.

Gen Moskalik had been the deputy head of the main operational directorate of the military's General Staff. He died after walking past the car parked outside his house in the suburb of Balashikha. The FSB said Kuzin had rigged the car with a homemade explosive device and the bomb had then been set off remotely from Ukraine.
