| School attackers threaten to kill children |
| 2004-09-01 |
 An armed gang holding at least 120 hostages at a school in southern Russia on Wednesday threatened to kill 50 children for every one of their number killed by security forces, the region's interior minister said. The official, Kazbek Dzantiyev, told local journalists in Beslan in Russia's North Ossetia region: "They have said that for every fighter wiped out they will kill 50 children and for every fighter wounded — 20." |

| #7 The amazing thing is that the useful idiots of the world (ex: kerry's supporters) are not willing or are too stupid to connect the dots. I do not care if the reasons Chechans have for wanting to separate from Russian are valid or not. The important thing to notice here is the way they try to accomplish it: the muslim way..blowing stuff up, killing children, demanding this and that, kidnapping, etc, etc. Isn't this what they do in Israel, Thailand, Indonesia and every country where they are present. Why can people not see this? |

| #6 If this turns out bad: Put a bullet in the head of each prisoner they wanted released. Arrest all the relatives of the kidnappers, who you can lay hands on. Send all of the people in the villages where the kidnappers are from to the Gulag. Less incentives for further stunts like this. |

| #5 I believe Russia's position is that Chechnya is part of Russia. It's hard to expel people you claim are your citizens. |

| #4 When is Russia going to declare war on Chechnya? Expel everyone from Russia that is Chechan, or is a Chechan sympathizer |

| #3 Chances are the folks you see in the pic are Russian Army there for perimeter security until the FSB guys get deployed. Not sure if they use SpetzNaz ( although I doubt it ) as there is a specialized anti-terror FSB unit for such matters as these. If the Russians use the FBS guys it will be, about now, when its dark. |
