  "textContent": "The woman disguised herself as a man (Pictures: Police)\n\nAn ‘armed and dangerous’ Ukrainian woman is suspected of setting off the bomb in the centre of Monaco.\n\nInterpol is working to create a Most Wanted red notice for the 30-something attacker after issuing an arrest warrant.\n\nShe is said to have targeted billionaire Vadim Ermolaev, 58, his mistress, Anna Nasobina, 46, and their young son on Monday night.\n\nThe woman, who has not yet been named publicly, was filmed outside the ‘Sun’s Palace’ – a lavish apartment block owned by Mr Ermolaev.\n\nIt was in the foyer, just before 9pm, that a dumped rucksack exploded after the woman triggered it using a mobile phone.\n\nMs Nasobina had her legs amputated following the blast, while both she and Mr Ermolaev suffered severe shrapnel wounds and burns.\n\n##  Sign up for all of the latest stories\n\nStart your day informed with Metro's **News Updates** newsletter or get **Breaking News** alerts the moment it happens.\n\nVadim was targeted alongside his son and mistress (Picture: X)\n\n‘The prime suspect was identified by a witness,’ said an investigating source. ‘She is a Ukrainian woman in her thirties.’\n\nFootage from nearby surveillance cameras showed the woman wearing a black bucket hat fleeing on foot across the border to France, where there are no checkpoints.\n\nShe headed into the French town of Beausoleil, and then made her way to Italy, investigators believe.\n\n‘She is armed and dangerous, and thought to be in the company of accomplices,’ said the source. ‘She should be approached with extreme caution.’\n\nJudicial authorities in both France and Monaco have opened a criminal enquiry for ‘attempted murder’, ‘the planting of an explosive device on a public road with criminal intent’ and ‘criminal conspiracy.’\n\nCameras first picked up the suspect in the area on Monday morning, before she returned to place the bomb, according to the same security sources.\n\nThe wounded boy has made a rapid recovery and is currently providing evidence to police and prosecutors.\n\n‘He is telling them exactly what he saw, although clearly his memory is very blurred,’ said a security source. ‘It appears that his mother took the full force of the blast, while he suffered relatively minor burns and shrapnel injuries.’\n\n******Get in touch with our news team by emailing us atwebnews@metro.co.uk.******\n\n**For more stories like this,** check our news page.\n\nComment now Comments \nAdd Metro as a Preferred Source on Google\nAdd as preferred source\n",
