From the transcript
In our lead story today, we turn to the snow-covered streets of Moscow where the dust has only just settled after a bomb blast with global implications.
On Thursday the 17th of December, an attempt on the life of a prominent Russian general succeeded, just as it was drawn up in a major act of retribution by the very same nation that Russia has spent years trying to conquer. The target was Lieutenant-General Igor Karelov, age 54 years at the time of his death.
Hailing from the Russian city of Kostroma, this boy, Karelov has been a career military man since the waning days of the Soviet Union, and ever since he got his start, he's had one singular focus, weapons of mass destruction.
