Articles labeled: doomsday

It’s one thing for adults to blow themselves up, but why can’t they spare the children??? I know they’re crazy but that’s not the fault of these poor kids…

MOSCOW, Russia (CNN) — A doomsday cult leader whose followers are barricaded inside a cave in southern Russia will be taken to the site in an attempt to secure the release of several children, according to a government official.

The 29 cult members — including four children as young as 18 months — retreated last month to the hideout in the Penza region, about 640 kilometers (400 miles) southeast of Moscow, threatening to blow themselves up if the authorities tried to intervene.
