Terrorist Lynched by Mob Outside Beslan School Building
2004-09-03
Sounds good to me... Sounds appropriate to me...
Shortly after the situation erupted at the scene of the hostage crisis in the North Ossetian town of Beslan, the area around the school was described as chaotic, with one suspected terrorist attacked by the crowd. A reporter with Britain's Sky News described how vigilantes attacked one of the suspected rebels. She said special forces brought out a man on a stretcher and the crowd moved as one and began to attack him. The soldiers made a token effort to protect him but they have no control, the reporter said.
"Here, youse! Stop that!... Ummm... Is it lunch? Damn! I'll be back in, uhhh... 10 minutes."
"Make it 20!"
"Hokay."
The chaos is thought to have assisted up to 13 of the hostage-takers to flee the school and hole up in a residential building nearby.
Hopefully soon to be a former residential building...
A correspondent from the BBC who is at the scene also called the situation in the streets in the aftermath of the storming as "pandemonium".
What the hell'd you expect?
Television pictures showed scores of bloodied children in a state of undress milling around armored personnel carriers as soldiers provided water and first aid. The sound of gunfire could be heard in the background. A number of the released hostages have reportedly avoided going to hospital, Gazeta.Ru says, further confusing any attempt at a head count by authorities.

#15  Sorry Shipman, have to disagree. Get the info. from them first. Then *totally* fuck 'em. old-skool KGB style. Or maybe pulp-fiction style with a "blowtorch and some pliers"

A friend came into the pub tonight and used the term 'hostage-taker' - she'd been watching the horrific event unfold on Socialism-tv, ie the BBC. Hmm.

#12  Bryan : Did the CNN propogandist ask, "Why are you talking like that? What are you? A Bush supporter or something?"

#11  "A correspondent from the BBC who is at the scene also called the situation in the streets in the aftermath of the storming as “pandemonium”."

It's impossible to understand the BBC without translating from PC-speak.

There was a refreshing break from the term 'hostage-taker' that has been bandied about by the media: the taboo 'terrorist' word was mentioned by someone who was probably a psychologist or psychiatrist. He was describing the effects of PTSD on the hostages in an interview on CNN, believe it or not. I'm sure the studio shook.

#9  take 'em behind the barn and kill 'em. Nothing fancy is required. Off hand death dealing reverberates amongst the morons... right Gentle-men?

#8  They still have a few "old hands" around that know how things are done - remember who Putin was boss of before he moved into the presidency.

Random beatings, sleep deprivation, drugs and force feeding them pork chops are probably already well underway.

#6  Got some, fire up the grill!: BESLAN, Russia, Sept. 3 (UPI) -- Russian officials say they have three of the terrorists who seized a North Ossetian school and held hundreds captive in custody. Lev Dzugayev, head of the North Ossetian president's information and analysis department, told Itar-Tass news agency the three "are being interrogated."

#5  Zhang - I've heard that some were captured. According to Logic and Sanity:

Officials have stated that the operation is now over. Terrorists were either killed
or apprehanded, and authorities are doubting that any have escaped.
No gunfire or explosions are heard. Sapers are still checking the school for booby traps. 95 dead hostages have been identified so far.

Also, the border between Northen Osetia and Ingushetia has been closed as a precaution.

#3  Dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb. They need to capture a few of them alive so they can question them separately, and get corroboration on who sent them, who sheltered them, who paid them, etc.
