Blasts Rock Russian Soccer Stadium


Two explosions rocked a stadium Sunday about an hour after a soccer match in the southern Russian city of Vladikavkaz, but there were no immediate reports of casualties. The explosions occurred two to three seconds apart at the city's central Spartak stadium, said an official in the local Interior Ministry, who spoke on condition of anonymity. Vladikavkaz, the capital of the republic of North Ossetia, is near Chechnya.
