BESLAN, Russia (AP) - Commandos stormed a school Friday in southern Russia and battled separatist rebels holding hundreds of hostages, as crying children, some naked and covered in blood, fled through explosions and gunfire. More than 100 bodies were reportedly found in the gym where hostages had been held.

The extent of the casualties was not immediately known. The militants, who had been demanding independence for nearby Chechnya, had been holding up to 1,500 hostages - mostly women and children - in the sweltering gymnasium for more than two days.

A cameraman for the British network ITN reported seeing around 100 bodies in the gym. The correspondent for Russia's Interfax news agency reported that there were dozens of bodies in the school, including about 100 in the gym, and that some were killed when the building's roof collapsed from an explosion.

Other casualties were reported when militants opened fire on hostages as they fled the building and in fighting that went on for several hours afterward. More than 400 people were wounded, including at least 180 children.

I have to wonder how all the liberals that defend these Islamo-nuts as "Freedom Fighters" can POSSIBLY defend this or blame this on America or Israel. We all know the history of the Chechnan rebels, the PLO/PLA, Black September, et al, ad nausea. I mean, come on. When is the world going to stand up? Doesn't if first have to wake up?

Various news sources are reporting that at least half the terrorists were Arabs, including one or more Saudis. We obviously don't know much yet, but if that turns out to be true, will be interesting....

I hope that the silver-lining to this horrible event is that it is evidence that the global war on terror is eviscerating these human versions of cancer cells. They have been reduced to attacking children; gunning down unarmed kids. Let's hope the Russians wake-up and join us in wiping these despicable scumbags from the face of the Earth. These people all need to die.

WTF? What in the world was going on in there that these kids were naked? I'm sure they were fully clothed before the terrorist scum took over the school.

They took their own clothes off because of the hot gym they were packed into.

There must be some mistake; Islam is a religion of peace.

Do I detect disbelief? Sarcasm? I just bought a bumper sticker at cafe press that says, "Jesus Loves You. Allah wants you dead ".

Great series of responses, folks. I am so glad I didn't see an apologist in the crowd. I hope the world's eyes are starting to open about what these nutcases are all about. Nothing, and I mean nothing justifies what happened this week in Russia. I dont care WHAT your political beef, when you take it to women and children you are worse than cowards, worse than barbarians, you are not even human.

LBT said it best but to paraphrase, " [the WORLD] needs to wake-up and join us in wiping these despicable scumbags from the face of the Earth...!"

I found it online at cafepress.com. It's $5 but I thought it was worth it! :-) I think it was in the "Right Press" section. I was looking for Bush/Cheney bumper stickers when I found it.
