Moscow synagogue suspect on trial

A 20-year-old man has gone on trial in Moscow accused of attempting to murder Jewish worshippers at a synagogue.

Alexander Koptsev, arrested after an attack on a Moscow synagogue on 11 January, pleaded not guilty.

He injured eight people when he lashed out at random with a knife before being wrestled to the ground by Rabbi Yitzak Kogan and his son, witnesses said.

He faces a maximum of life in prison. He is charged with attempted murder "motivated by racial hatred".
