The State Committee for National Security of Kyrgyzstan has identified the organizers and perpetrators of the terrorist attack on the Chinese embassy in capital Bishkek last week.

The Chinese Embassy in Kyrgyzstan experienced a suicide car bombing attack in the morning of Aug.30, in which the lone assailant was killed and five others were injured, in addition to serious material damage.

The attacker detonated an improvised explosive device inside the car after the vehicle rammed through the western gates of the embassy.
