Comment: ~~The Daily Beast can be opiniated, and tends towards sensationalist presentation, but its facts seem good here.~~Found a VoA source to corroborate the car shooting, and it went into more detail anyway. In Alt3, "in the basement" is an apparent reference to the Russian government. If somebody else reads it and agrees with me that I'm not misreading the WaPo article, I'd be happy to amend the article/hook.

I like the ALT0 here, and the two sources check out; they are also cited for the hook fact in the article. Article is in good shape, eligible, and I don't see any signs of copyvio. No QPQ required. Generalissima (talk) (it/she) 21:24, 28 October 2024 (UTC)
