Bombs Explode in Three Casino Sites in Southern Russia
On Thursday night, bombs tore through three casino sites in the southern Russian city of Vladikavkaz, the capitol of the province of North Ossetia. A fourth unexploded bomb was also found at one of the casino sites.
At least two people were killed, and more than 20 people were injured, according to the North Ossetia Health Ministry. One of the dead was a 25 year- old woman, and the other was a man. Most of the injured were young people in their 20s and 30s.
There has not been a claim of responsibility for the blasts, but provincial officials point to two possible motives for the casino sites bombings.
One possibility is terrorism. Russia is plagued by terrorism by separatists who reside in some of its provinces, including North Ossetia. North Ossetia is the site of Beslan, the town in which terrorists seized control of an elementary school, killing 330 people.
In fact, the entire region is a hotbed of separatist- related terrorism; South Ossetia, which borders North Ossetia, fought a bitter war with Russia in the early 1990s, and briefly declared independence.
However, others maintain that the bombings at the casino sites were the result of criminal wars over business. Casino sites are frequent targets of criminal violence in Russia; there were four bombings at casinos in Vladikavkaz last year.

About UK Online Casino Laws
Reportedly up to 1,000 online gaming websites could be barred from advertising in Britain after the its new legislation was this week passed in Government.
The move is set to exclude websites which will include some of the industry’s most recognisable brands, when the Act comes into force on September 1.
Research has implied that exactly 2,300 gambling websites are in operation worldwide, with Antigua considered to have the largest number with around 537, followed by Costa Rica (474), Kahnawake (Canadian Reservation) (401) and the Netherlands Antilles (343).
For jurisdictions who operate outside of the EEA, the means to immunity from the ad ban involved a rigorous evaluation of their regulatory standards, with sites such as Betfred Casino, Will Hill Casino and, Littlewoodscasino.com are all currently based in non-white listed jurisdictions.
James Purnell the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, has already rejected applications from Alexander (Canadian Reservation), Netherlands Antilles and Tasmania, with applications from Kahnawake and Antigua still being considered.
Operators in online gambling regions such as Costa Rica and Belize who have not applied to be white listed will automatically be banned from advertising in the UK from September 1.
Only Alderney and the Isle of Man were able to demonstrate adequate provisions for the protection of children, vulnerable people, and those for keeping games fair and the prevention of crime.
Broadcasters and those in the print media in the UK are anticipating a surge in advertising revenue as a result of the proposed legislation.
