Analyst says Putin's stability push enabled Moscow restaurant bombing

A security analyst said President Vladimir Putin's campaign to project stability in Moscow created a security lapse that was exploited in a restaurant bombing on August 1, which killed five people and injured 19, possibly aimed at a senior Russian general. Russian authorities reported that an improvised explosive device exploded outside the Balzi Rossi restaurant in Kudrinskaya Square, killing three and wounding at least 21.

The mayor of Moscow described the incident as a brutal terrorist attack. Earlier reports from multiple outlets described the blast as an IED detonation that injured dozens.
