According to Korac, the prime suspect died in the blast, while five others were hospitalized. Korac identified the suspect only by the initials M.B.
Police spokesman Zoran Basanovic told the broadcaster TVCG that officers are working to determine the suspect’s motive. “Police and prosecution teams are on the scene. We are establishing all of the facts,” he said.
