More on Gongadze

By Aussiegirl

According to Reuters President Yushchenko released the following statement at a hastily arranged briefing:

"I can declare here that Gongadze's murder has been solved. The killers have been detained and are now giving evidence. The former authorities not only lacked the political will to solve this murder. They covered up for the murderers."

Ukrainian media reported that three members of the security forces had been detained, but did not identify them. Neither the prosecutor general nor Ukraine's SBU security service offered any comment.
