A man from Moscow was driving his Audi for the whole day on Tuesday before mechanics removed a grenade installed in his car near the gasoline tank, Interfax news agency reported.

In the evening he drove to a service center and complained that his car was rattling. Workers began examining the vehicle and to their surprise found a grenade on a tripwire, which was broken and twisted around a wheel. Fortunately, this “failure” prevented the blast.

The 42-year-old driver told policemen he had car trouble since he got into it that morning which suggests the grenade was installed on the previous night. A local prosecutor’s office has already launched a criminal case. If the plotters are found, they will face charges of murderous assault.
