Russian officials say police in Moscow have defused a car bomb that was to be placed along a road often used by government officials.
Authorities say they stopped a man they had become suspicious of early Saturday in the Russian capital and found he was driving a car wired with explosives.

Police say the driver appeared to be intoxicated and told them he had been paid $1,000 to park cars packed with explosives along the street.

The Itar-Tass news agency quotes the man as saying the explosives were to have been set off as participants in an international mayors' conference approached.

Itar-Tass says the 38-year-old man was from the St. Petersburg area. News agency reports say he later died of a heart attack.

Russia has been on alert following a series of recent terrorist attacks, including a school siege that killed at least 338 people, scores of them children.

Some information for this report provided by AFP and AP.
