Prior to 2001, the chechen rebels were referred to as 'freedom fighters'.

Now they're referred to as terrorists.

And its about bloody time.

OK, This is how I would handle the situation. TALK TO THE TERRORIST ! ! ! !

Alla Gadieyeva, 24, who was taken captive with her 7-year-old son and mother, said the militants displayed terrifying brutality from the start. One gunman, whose pockets were stuffed with grenades, held up the corpse of a man just shot in front of hundreds of hostages and warned: "If a child utters even a sound, we'll kill another one."

I will guarentee that the chechens didn't fire the first shot that ended in the bloody aftermath.

At 0730 (0330GMT) this morning, after lengthy negotiations, the bandits said that they were ready to give up the bodies and we assembled a group from the emergencies department.

At about 1300, there were two powerful explosions. Hostages started running out of the school.

They started shooting at the fleeing children and adults.

I would like to note that we were not planning to use any force

In order to save the lives of the hostages, we started returning fire.

The chechens were talking to the Russian Government and offering to remove the children and have food and medical attention brought in but I what happened most likely is that the russian tried to trick them and the chechens responded.

Ok i can tell your the type of guy who calls Arabs "Sand Niggers" or "Dune Coons" but not everybody in Chechnya is a terrorist and the same is for the Middle East there are white terrorist too I.E. IRA or Tim McViegh.

Citizens with light arms also began returning fire at the bandits.

I admit that I was wrong in my views. The Russians responded correctly in how they reacted to the events in Beslan. Sorry to royaljack for the uncalled for attack on his views of the Chechen People or any other group that have a minority of terrorist groups. I.E. Ireland or the Middle East.

I will not try to change the topic of my incorrectness but the picture is that more than340 people are dead and alot of them are children. God bless them and the Russian people who are strong and will rise above the cowardness of these killers.

ZNAMENSKOYE, Russia — It was 6 a.m. when Russian soldiers hoisted themselves over the wall, crashed through the window and broke down the front door. Their quarries were still asleep.

Shouting, shoving and kicking, the soldiers pushed 67-year-old Khavazh Semiyev and his wife into a truck waiting outside, then went back for the others — his two sons and two nephews, his son's wife, his 52-year-old sister. Then — and Semiyev couldn't believe his eyes — they went back for his grandchildren: Mansur, 11 years old. Malkhazni, 9. And Mamed, 7.

They were driven in their nightclothes and socks through the empty early morning streets of Chechnya to the Russian army's command center at Khankala. There, the men were forced onto their knees with their heads on the ground. Sacks were pulled over their heads, and their hands were tied behind their backs. For the next 24 hours, anyone who moved from that position got kicked.

One day into the seizure of more than 1,000 hostages by suspected Chechen separatists in the town of Beslan, Russia now had its own hostages. Altogether, an estimated 40 family members of senior Chechen rebel leaders were assembled at Khankala from Thursday, a day after the hostage seizure in Beslan, until Saturday, the day after it ended.
