From sem40.ru:
Сегодня утром агентство новостей Фокс Ньюз сообщило, что в Кандагаре высадился американский спецназ, получивший задание нанести удар по элитным частям талибов.

[This morning, Fox News reported that U.S. Special Forces have been deployed in Kandagar. Their mission is to strike at elite Taliban units.]
Hopefully, this is old news and not a late-breaking report.

Soldiers have a tendency to become conflicted when reporters warn the enemy of their intentions. The question naturally arises: Whom to damage first?

Criminy.

Cheers...

This is the first time you've included something in Cyrillic I've actually been able to read. In the past, my computer hasn't recognized the font. Which one is this one?

It's not really the font, it's how the text is represented (Unicode). If you look at the underlying HTML, the word "Сегодня" is represented by the sequence "Сегодня".

If your browser can grok Unicode, you'll see Cyrillic.

Cheers...

I had trouble reading that... I obviously need to start studying Russian again before I lose it.

I found reference in The Times of India (http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/articleshow.asp?art_id=748993062) but nowhere else.
