In this case i's pretty weird : Belarus is a dictatorship, but democracy partisan rarely resort to undiscriminated violence.
Maybe an attempt to justify a crackdown on the opposition.

In bug news, the zombies in a necromancer's tower became suspicious after the necromancer failed to age and he fled into the hills.

There are some suspects, methinks they're involved.

well not exactly dictatorship  :P but mostly
there's "elections" but...  ::) to those.

i doubt it would be to justify a crackdown.
more likely to just kick lukashenko in the pants.

Can you give a quick breakdown to the complex-sounding political situation there?

I'm not into politics (plus I'm under 21  :P) but basically:
there's the "president" Lukashenko who people mostly either love or hate. he's basically the dictator, he's won the "elections" (several times? not sure.) even though the December elections were claimed by some to be rigged. He's mostly focused on attacking political enemies, doing popular things mostly to get the public toward him.

not that I know of.
they have some folks that seem to be connected, though.
most likely a small group of insane, extremist radicals.

Got to love radicals. You know, them hurting and killing people to make themselves known. They deserve to be in a jail or something. Its not right.

I was sorry to read that news. I hope your leader has learned from the second President Bush that (arguably) taking advantage of a terrorist attack as a reason for an action that would otherwise seem questionable can have poor long term effects on one's legacy and for the people he should love.
