     At least 30 people were wounded...including 10 children...after 4 bombs...hidden in garbage cans...exploded around the noon hour...in the major eastern city of Dnipropetrvsk...just weeks before the 8 June start of the much anticipated Euro 2012 football matches.
    Terrorism is feared...though Ukraine has no recent history of terrorism.
    President Yanukovych ordered a swift probe...and is offering a $250,000 reward for information about the '...act of terrorism.'
    22 people are still hospitalized...with 3 in grave condition.
    The city of 1.4 million is the birthplace of imprisoned and reportedly ailing ex-PM Yulia Tymoshenko...an outspoken opponent of President Viktor Yanukovych.
