Izmaylovsky Park

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Izmaylovsky Park or Izmailovo Park is a forest-like park (russian:"lesopark", "urban forest") in the Izmaylovo district of Moscow, Russia.

Izmailovskaya Metro station is by the park.

In November 1995, rebels from Chechnya planted, but did not detonate, a RDD in Moscow's Izmailovo Park. The bomb consisted of dynamite and caesium-137 removed from cancer treatment equipment. Reporters were tipped off about its location and it was defused.
