Warning: this episode contains descriptions of violence.
More than a hundred people died and scores more were wounded on Friday night in a terrorist attack on a concert hall near Moscow — the deadliest such attack in Russia in decades.

Guest: Anton Troianovski, the Moscow bureau chief for The New York Times.
