Estonia has identified the man who attacked the Defense Ministry. He
is an ethnic Armenian, Karen Drambyan. The 57-year old received
citizenship in the 1990s. He was a lawyer and member of the United
Left Party in 2009.
Drambyan broke into the ministry and took hostages. He was either
killed by the special forces or killed himself. No one else was
injured.
Estonian Prime Minister Andrus Ansip and Defense Minister said that
Drambyan was possibly inspired by Anders Breivik from Norway. Both
terrorists had hundreds of bullets, explosives and a gas mask. The
minister said that the incident demonstrates the efficient operation
of the ministry.
