DUSHANBE: A hit-and-run driver killed four foreign cyclists in Tajikistan in what may have been a terrorist act, the Central Asian country’s interior minister said on Monday. The tourists, from the United States, Switzerland and the Netherlands, were killed on Sunday, Tajik authorities said. Three more, from Switzerland, the Netherlands and France, were injured – and one of them also had a stab wound. “We are looking into all versions – accident, robbery … including a terrorist act,” Interior Minister Ramazon Rakhimzoda told a briefing. Among the four suspects killed was the owner of the car, which police believe struck the tourists as they were cycling through a rural area 90 km (55 miles) southeast of the capital Dushanbe.
