Three killed in Serbia nightclub blast
Three people have been killed and eight others injured in a hand grenade blast at a packed village nightclub in Serbia, police said.
The explosion in Idvor, north of Belgrade, occurred at 2.30am today (00.30 Irish time) when a man activated the grenade at the entrance to the club.
About 150 customers were inside at the time. Serbia’s state TV said the man was angry because he and three of his friends were refused entry by the club’s security. He and one of his friends were killed in the blast.
Such incidents are not unusual in Serbia since the wars in the Balkans in the 1990s when many hand grenades and firearms were taken home from warfronts.
