Of course, I have just posted an entry on how calm and not out of place I feel here in Bishkek, and lo, there was an anti-terrorist operation at 6:00 in the evening on Thursday not a kilometer from where I live as the crow flies. Initial accounts suggest they were planning some kind of terrorist act in Bishkek. Four protagonists were killed in the operation. There were no civilian casualties. All our students are fine, but I've updated ASU just in case there are any parental inquiries.
