Gunmen killed at least 40 people and wounded more than 140 in an attack on a Moscow concert hall Friday night that authorities are investigating as terrorism.
Authorities said at least five gunmen dressed in camouflage entered the Crocus City Hall, a large shopping and concert venue in a Moscow suburb, and began shooting at people gathered for a rock concert.
Several explosions were heard, and there was a huge fire in the building, which caused part of the roof to collapse. Photos of the scene are here.
The Islamic State terror group claimed responsibility and said the gunmen escaped. Early reports had Russian officials blaming Ukraine, which the Ukrainian government vehemently denied.
Kate, Princess of Wales, Diagnosed with Cancer
Kate Middleton, Britain’s Princess of Wales, has been diagnosed with an undisclosed type of cancer and is undergoing chemotherapy. Middleton announced the news on Friday in a video message, which you can see here.
The cancer was found during abdominal surgery in February but kept secret until Friday. In her message, Middleton described the diagnosis as a “huge shock” and asked for “time, space, and privacy.”
The type of cancer wasn’t identified, but chemotherapy treatments have begun. Kensington Palace says it’s confident the princess will make a full recovery.
Secret WWII ‘Ghost’ Unit Finally Recognized
Members of the 23rd Headquarters Special Troops were awarded Congressional Gold Medals, Congress’ highest honor, Thursday for their elaborate battlefield deceptions during WWII.
The 23rd, known as the “Ghost Army,” featured 1,100 soldiers recruited for their expertise in engineering, art, set design, and architecture. The Ghost Army developed inflatable tanks, fake uniforms, camouflage, and sound effects that saved an estimated “15,000 to 30,000” lives.
Knowledge of the Ghost Army was kept secret for more than 50 years until the information was declassified in 1996. A documentary about their heroics was produced in 2013, and a book was released in 2015.
Surviving Ghost Army members Bernard Bluestein, 100, John Christman, 99, and Seymour Nussenbaum, 100, attended the event, with Bluestein saying the recognition was “overwhelming.”
