...nuances of the rules to those students who will be spending the upcoming weeks in mortal peril, but here's the gist: the game starts off with one unidentified—and headbandless—Alpha Zombie. He or she started “killing” humans Monday with a two-hand touch, turning Kirklanders into zombies left and right...
Rusudan Giorgberidze, vice chairwoman of the Free Caucasus resistance movement, said she has little doubt that the Russian government intends to "tighten the screws" on the North Caucasus after top security officials blamed Monday's attacks on Islamist rebels from the region. (So far, no group has claimed responsibility for the attacks.) But that move, she added, will likely only spur a cycle of retaliation. "In the face of a regime that rules by increasingly persistent clampdowns and raids, a person who tries to defend himself does not think of himself as an insurgent. Excuse me, but that is simply...
Giorgberidze's perspective as a former resistance fighter and a woman has special relevance in the wake of Monday's attacks, which were carried out by two female suicide bombers who were linked in the Russian media to the notorious "black widows" of the North Caucasus.

As a result, violent incidents in the North Caucasus jumped from 281 in the summer...
...Tuesday lamenting the government's inaction. "The shrapnel of rage is flying in every direction, not only against the killers - indeed, less against them - but against the leadership, which is not providing security," the paper said. Vladimir Zhirinovsky, head of the nationalist Liberal Democrats, agreed in televised remarks on Monday, saying that Russia must again "take under total control any region where the preparation of suicide bombers is possible." On Monday evening, the mourners who gathered for a vigil on Lubyanka Square, home of the FSB secret police and the site of one of Monday's bombings, also demanded action...
