Two women escape from theater...
Two women hostages escaped from the terrorist-held Theatre Centre in Dubrovka, shortly before 7 pm. The captors mortar-fired them as they ran, but luck was with the brave girls, reports Kirill Mazurin, city police deputy chief of PR. An approximate 500 hostages remain on the premises. Thanks to Jussi for the headzup! Chairman of Moscow's education committee Alexander Gavrilov stated on Thursday that 40-45 school children aged between 12 - 16 remained in the hands of terrorists who have seized the capital's Theatrical Centre on Dubrovka Street. A source in the power structures has informed RIA Novosti that the explosives in the hands of the terrorists who have seized the Theatrical Centre on Dubrovka Street may have been smuggled into the building earlier, possibly several days in advance.
