On Friday, four police officers died in Grozny, Chechnya as a result of suspected suicide bombings.

Did anyone catch Chrystal Callahan's show at Chechnya Today?

The video clip is undated,  but here are Callahan's opening words:

Political life in the republic was full of events this week. One of the main topics was in regards to the international status of the Grozny airport.

Sorry, couldn't bring myself to watch much further.*

* I did dig in a bit further. Chrystal does some resto reviews and appears to cut a rug with President Ramzan Kadyrov, or someone who looks very much like him.

Four cops getting blown up isn't particularly newsworthy in Chechnya (the home page doesn't reflect the story). And since Callahan has said she has complete editorial freedom, I guess it was her call (I'm  hoping this is simply an obsolete clip and not an indictment of her news judgment).

Here is a small excerpt from an RIA Novosti profile of Callahan:

One of my colleagues asked Chrystal if she had ever heard gunfire in the city. Chrystal laughed and said she hears gunfire almost every weekend from outside her office which overlooks one of the central squares in Grozny. She explained that gunfire was part of the Chechen tradition of firing into the air in celebration during weddings.

And bombing noises? Are they part of TGIF celebrations in Grozny?
