Two explosions drove through guard lines at Grozny’s Kremlin administration HQ killing at least 46 and wounding 70. Rescuers sift through rubble as Chechnya’s security leaders suffer injuries and the government relocates wounded to other regions for care.

Driver Defends Mennonite Ride Service Draws DMV Scrutiny
Charles Cassiday, a 71 year old Dayton man, offered rides to Old Order Mennonites for donations, believing no license or for hire tags were needed. DMV investigators questioned a dozen drivers for unlicensed taxi services in the Shenandoah Valley, with fines possible for noncompliance. Cassiday suspects market rivals or insiders may have exposed him, claiming others seek a larger share of the busines.

Slow Year For Va. Executions
Virginia executed four inmates this year, up from two last year but far below the 14 in the 1990s. The state moved from 60 on death row to 23 as earlier efforts to speed appeals took effect, with average times around four to six years. Nationally 71 people were executed, 13 states carried out executions, and Texas led with 33.
