merchimerchwow - this is really not the thing to have land in my inbox as I am trying to wind down and head to bed:

Warden Message - Crime Alert
We understand that there has recently been a series of assaults and murders
of local children in Tashkent. While we do not have detailed information on
the killings, it is recommended that parents ensure appropriate supervision
for their children.
For further information on security, please visit http://travel.state.gov.

I've been hearing about this since through the grapevine since I got here - it is part of what makes Tashkent feel less safe this year. Most women I know are being even more parnoid and cautious about going out alone or after dark. Apparently the "monyak" is targeting children, but most women I know are quite scared.
Nothing is being said on the news or in the papers. Apparently the police has known about it and has been trying to catch the guy. I know that the power of gossip and the bazaar to spread news is powerful, but I just can't help feeling like this person's description should be plastered all over the place to try and locate him.
I am so grateful for my iron door and 2 deadbolts right about now.
