PROBLEM: (CNN) An ISIS massacre on the streets of Moscow? Bombs detonated by the same terror group in St. Petersburg? Such "huge terrorist acts" might have happened if Russian authorities hadn't detained seven alleged ISIS members, state media reported. The FSB -- Russia's security agency and the successor to the Soviet Union's KGB -- told state-run TASS news that the seven suspects were charged Wednesday for plotting terrorist attacks.

Over 430 professors, assistants and faculty have left the University of Simon Bolivar, in Caracas, since 2015, according to Azzato, the university's vice rector of administration.
