**Moscow Court Holds Suspect in General’s Killing**
A court in Moscow has ordered a suspect to be held in pre-trial detention for two months. The suspect is accused of killing Russian General Igor Kirillov.
**Charges and Background**
The suspect, from Uzbekistan, faces charges of committing a terrorist act that led to death. This happened after security forces detained the suspect on December 18 over the general’s murder. Kirillov was killed in Moscow on December 17 when a bomb exploded on his scooter.
**Russia-Ukraine Conflict**
Kirillov, 54, headed Russia’s unit for protecting against radiation, chemicals, and biological threats. One day before his death, Ukrainian prosecutors charged him with using banned chemical weapons during the conflict between Ukraine and Russia. This led to sanctions from the UK and Canada.
