| Russers clean up in aftermath of theater atrocity... |
| 2002-10-29 |
| Russia stepped up its war on Chechen fighters Tuesday after President Putin ordered the military to draw up new so-called âanti-terrorâ plans in the wake of last weekâs hostage drama. If I were a Chechen right now, I'd think seriously of becoming an Ingush... Police arrested dozens of people suspected of involvement in the three-day stand-off. They're busy making them very unhappy, right this minute... Officials said that 41 of the Chechen hostage-takers had been shot dead during the rescue operation. Many of them were unconscious at the time from the effects of the gas, according to members of the special forces who led the assault. A member of the special forces told Kommersant newspaper that the Russians had shot dead those Chechens who had explosives strapped to their bodies even though they were already knocked-out by the gas to avoid them triggering their human bombs. Sounds like a reasonable precaution to me... âThey shot all those who had explosives because people could still come to or have convulsions. To avoid anyone setting off the explosives we took extra measures,â the unnamed elite commando said. That's okay. The Amnesty International set will still continue to bitch and moan about it. Five years from now they'll remember how the Russers shot all those people when they were helpless from that nasty chemical warfare stuff they pumped into the theater, and they'll ignore how the bastards got there. |
