Russian sect awaits end of world

(01:18) Report

Nov. 17 - At least 30 members of a Russian doomsday cult have barricaded themselves in a remote cave to await the end of the world.

The cult members are hidden inside a snow-covered hillside in the Penza region of central Russia. They are near the village of Nikolskoye, some 400 kilometres southeast of Moscow. They are inside a cave and are threatening to blow themselves up with about 400 litres of stockpiled gasoline if police intervene.
