Has Criminal Terror Sidetracked the Greens?

In an interview with The Day the Greens' leader commented on the incident: "Any attack on the assistant of a political figure is nothing but a political action. I am alarmed because I don't know who was behind it."

It was the victim himself who told The Day the details of the incident. Coming into the entrance where the light was out that night for unknown reasons, Mr. Kononenko called the elevator, and at the same moment a young man ran into the doorway. He broke the deputy assistant's nose with an abrupt boxing hook and then started beating the lying victim with an iron rod. Mr. Kononenko still managed to kick back and escape. In the hospital, doctors found the following injuries: a broken nose, two hematomas on an arm and a leg; and the victim was given three stitches for a deep head wound. The militia arrived three minutes after being called, for the victim immediately phoned an acquaintance of his at the administration for combating organized crime.
