Thanks, Joseph, and thanks to all of Mr. Wheatley's students at North Linn Middle for that striking¹ introduction to today's show. We love it and we look forward to your intro as well. I'm Carl Azuz. 10 minutes of commercial-free headlines are coming your way right now!

First up today, we're reporting on a bomb that went off at the busiest airport in Moscow, Russia. This happened yesterday around 4:30 in the afternoon local time. Russia's president called it a terrorist² attack. There were reports that it was done by a suicide³ bomber⁴. And when we put this show together yesterday, no one had claimed responsibility for the attack and Russian authorities hadn't named any suspects. This video that was posted on YouTube shows what the airport looked like after the bombing. You can see a lot of smoke still in the air here. Dozens of people were killed in this blast⁵. More than 150 others were injured. One terrorism expert said that airports usually are a pretty secure location. So, for an attack like this to happen at an airport and for the result to be so devastating⁶, he says it means that the attack was very well planned.
