Moscow police arrest more than 100, fear riots
Moscow police arrested more than 100 people Wednesday at a train station and other locations amid fears of ethnic clashes following the deadly shooting of a football fan, a spokesman said.
The police deployment included crack anti-riot and special interior ministry units who were called up in anticipation of a street battle that was reportedly scheduled outside the Kievsky train station for 6:00 pm (1500 GMT).
"The checks resulted in the arrest of more than 100 people," news agencies quoted Moscow police spokesman Viktor Biryukov as saying.
"We have confiscated several air guns, knives and stun guns," Biryukov said.
He added that police patrols had been stepped up throughout the centre of the city.
Rumours of the Kievsky station standoff spread across the Russian Internet following a weekend riot outside the Kremlin involving some 5,000 football fansand elements of the far right.
Gangs of ethnic Muslims were reported to be planning a counter-rally at Kievsky and a major Russian nationalist movement called on its supporters to come armed to the site.

"It is reasonable to conclude that cure of HIV infection has been achieved in this patient," the doctors wrote.

WASHINGTON — As President Obama prepares to release a review of American strategy in Afghanistan that will claim progress in the nine-year-old war there, two new classified intelligence reports offer a more negative assessment and say there is a limited chance of success unless Pakistan hunts down insurgents operating from havens on its Afghan border.

Cap and Trade by Stealth: U.S. States Partner With Foreign Governments

 While Americans were battling cap-and-trade legislation at the national and international levels, global-warming alarmists were quietly building regional systems between state and local governments, private industry, and even foreign governments that basically achieve the same effect — higher energy prices for consumers and more money for governments.The first and most prominent of these U.S. cap-and-trade systems is known as theRegional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI). It was created not by the people through their legislatures, but by a so-called “Memorandum of Understanding” between state governors. Consisting so far of 10 Northeastern and mid-Atlantic states — Connecticut, Delaware, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Rhode Island, and Vermont — the scheme is described on the RGGI website as “the first mandatory, market-based effort in the United States to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.” Its board of directors consists primarily of each participating state’s top environmental bureaucrats. |

Relating her story to KOB Eyewitness News 4, Ms. Durso explained how she was made to feel humiliated in front of her seventeen year old son and the rest of the queuing passengers.
