Attackers seize Russian school

[Solver]

People coming outside say there were 1,000 hostages. I doubt that's an accurate number though.

Was said though by the former President of Ingushetia, not the man to speak nonsense probably.

Arrian - CNN reports at least 100 dead, Russian sources at least 150. I believe I have the most current information here, I have the Russian TV on and their best news site, too.

Damn. I was hoping it was overblown or something.

All I've got is the reuters/AP stories on the internet (I'm at work).

It's gonna be higher Arian, a lot higher.

Logic tells us that, yes. I was talking about hope - which isn't logical at all. We're talking about little kids here.

Latest here says: at least !!! dozens killed.

200 people are in hospitals of Beslan now and another 150 in Vladikavkaz (a pretty big city, nearby).

Local residents caught one of the fleeing terrorists and kicked him, possibly to death.

The toll is going to be high... after all, the special forces didn't do a carefully planned storm, they instead had to charge in momentarily.

Can't say I blame them.

Damn. The spetsnaz apparently cornered some of the fleeing terrorists in the south part of the city, but they do again have hostages - an unknown number of adults.

Military officials confirmed "tens of causalties".

The four people who went in to bring out bodies just before the firefight started, one is dead and three wounder.

How about tying him up and trying in a court of law to spend a LIFETIME IN A RUSSIAN PRISON?

Although I probably would have done the same.

I dunno, I think i'd rather die than spend a lifetime in Russian prison, especially if I got some tasty virgins waiting for me in Paradise..

Sometimes people forget that punishment isn't about the criminal, it's about about society, either protecting itself or exacting vengence. Either way, this fits the bill quite nicely. Let terrorists be torn apart by the mobs they've harmed. It's fitting that a terrorist should end his/her life in terror.

I take it you have no faith in the due process of law?

You think the law has nothing to do with society?

"Dozens of bodies (kids) still inside"

Doesn't look good.
