Nikolai Yuryev, head of the military counterintelligence department of Russia's Federal Security Service has resigned.
What's NewThe counter-intelligence chief of Russia's Federal Security Service has resigned abruptly shortly after Russian President Vladimir Putin criticized Moscow law enforcement's 'serious blunder' in not preventing a top general's assassination.
Yuryev's reported resignation swiftly followed the assassination of Lieutenant General Igor Kirillov, 54, who was killed on Tuesday by Ukraine's special service when a bomb hidden in a scooter detonated. Kirillov was the chief of Russia's nuclear, biological and chemical protection forces, and his death came after he was charged by Ukraine with utilizing banned chemical weapons.
