| Toll rises beyond 300, Putin visits town More than 340 people were killed in a southern Russian school that had been seized by militants, a prosecutor said Saturday, and President Vladimir Putin accused the attackers of trying to spark an ethnic conflict that would engulf Russia's troubled Caucasus Mountains region. Russian Deputy Prosecutor Sergei Fridinsky told reporters that 322 victims, including 155 children, had been killed during the crisis in Beslan, and that all 26 attackers had been eliminated. That raised the death toll well beyond the 250 officials had previously cited. Medical officials said more than 542 people including 336 children had been hospitalised as a result of the crisis, which ended in a wave of violence Friday. Commandos stormed the school and battled militants as crying children, some naked and covered with blood, managed to flee through explosions and gunfire after three days during which the hostage takers herded them into the gym, denied them food and water and threatened to kill them. Putin flew to Beslan before dawn on Saturday, as smoke was still rising from the shattered school. "Even alongside the most cruel attacks of the past, this terrorist act occupies a special place because it was aimed at children," he said during a meeting with regional officials, which was broadcast on Russian television. |

| #22 Crikey: "OK, I'll play. The Russians must be cooperating with the Zionists, right? Falsely blaming Chechens, etc ? What's the motivation?" Come now, do you think that Russians are less naive than Americans? Just tell me who is the sole beneficiary of retaliation when Israel trunmpets world-wide that Moslems are determined to destroy her. Fred, sorry about forgetting to restore text size in my previous post. |

| #14 "...Rantburg welcomes...." Fred, you are a bold liar, you filter URLs of all sources of controverting evidence, reducing a poster's ability to present an argument based on own beliefs. As Ronny said to Gorbachev, tear down that filter of truth Mr. Pruitt! |

| #9 UFO: Rantburg welcomes all expressions of opinion in the pursuit of civil, well-reasoned discourse. I'd point out to you that most people who post here form their opinions based on facts. If additional facts become available, opinions often change. Trolling consists of posting stoopid opinions that aren't based on available facts. There is no indication that "Zionists" are remotely involved in Chechnya and in the events in North Ossetia. There is every indication that Chechens, Arabs, and Muslims in general are. Until you have verifiable facts to the contrary, shut up and learn something. Otherwise, don't come back. |

| #5 If, as I suspect, UFO's "thought" patterns resemble those of the average ME muslim, then I don't see much reason to leave any of them alive. At all. |

| #1 How transparent -- as memories of 911 raise apprehension in the US, Zionists stage an incident in Russia to create a stigma of global magnitude that will spur the Americans on to continue their crusade against 'militant' Islam. This time the plan included children in order to raise the hatred of Moslems to a new level. |
