A man was hospitalized after a package exploded in his hand, blowing it off, outside a McDonald's restaurant in downtown St. Petersburg. A video by Doku Umarov, leader of the Islamist Caucasus Emirate insurgency, was released recently, the first since November. In the video, Umarov vowed to prevent the 2014 Winter Olympics from taking place in Sochi, "using any methods" and with "maximum force."
