“The former hostages are receiving therapy in mobile hospitals and clinics of Beslan and Vladikavkaz,” the source said.
Some 130 wounded people, including children, are in the Vladikavkaz clinic. The republican clinic has 38 patients, including five children, with the severest wounds and traumas, and the children’s clinic of Vladikavkaz has admitted 186 children.
Eighty adults are receiving therapy in the airmobile hospital, 200 in the medical emergency clinic, 32 in the republican clinic, two in the military hospital of Vladikavkaz, and four in the first town hospital of Vladikavkaz.
The town hospital of Beslan has admitted 98 adults, two were sent to the defense ministry hospital in Vladikavkaz, and one is in the Ardon town hospital.
“The majority of patients have bullet wounds in the back,” the sources said.
The storming of the school, was not prepared, the Russian president’s adviser Aslambek Aslakhanov told reporters on Friday. “We were getting ready for dialogue in order to avoid spilling blood,” he said.
Aslakhanov arrived in Beslan by air to take part in negotiation with the hostage takers.
According to Aslakhanov, “ the terrorists demanded the withdrawal of the troops from Chechnya and the release of all the people who had been arrested for attacking the security agencies of Ingushetia on June 22.”
Aslakhanov said seven to 30 terrorists had been in the captured school. There were representatives of various ethnic groups in the gang. It was fully international, he said.
The number of those killed in the Beslan hostage crisis may by far exceed 150," Aslakhanov said.
Seventy-nine victims of the hostage crisis were identified by 9:15 p.m. Moscow time, head of the Federal Security Service’s North Ossetian department and the crisis center Valery Andreyev said.
“Unfortunately, the death rate is mounting,” he said adding that the operation against the terrorists is going on.
That sums it up. The dirty bastards take children and shoot them in the back....
This was the best plan Putin could come up with?
That sentense made me sick too.
there's that word again...
Let's not get distracted from the real issue here...the need to kill terrorists. I don't think we should blame Putin. He didn't have any good options. The terrorists are to blame for this-not Putin.
From what I saw when this broke earlier on Fox News was that a group of hostages attempted to run and that is when the terrorist set off explosives in the gym and started shooting the hostages as they were running away, and that is when the security troops opened up on the terrorists.. They still had a firefight going 6 hours later with the 3 remain terrorists.
I truly hope these cowards rot in hell for their disgusting crimes. And I don't say that lightly!
Another "news" story with some key words missing.
Now that they are targeting children, there will be hell to pay....
Well, he could have used poison gas like in the Moscow theatre incident...
From what's been posted here, some hostages decided to try and escape, and when that happened the terrorists started shooting at them, Russian forces fired to provide them some cover, and at least one of the terrorists set off explosives in the gym, bringing the roof down. At that point the security forces didn't have a choice but to move in.
Withhold judgement on the Russian security services until more information comes out. And never lose sight whose hands the blood of those kids is REALLY on. Hint: It's not the FSB.

It does not seem that Putin had any good options. Neither will we when the same thing happens here.
I'd like to hear more on this.
I hope that Putin nukes the bustards. Set a precident that we can't due to our politics. You know that they would nuke us if they could. Drop a few small ones on various sources of terrorism connected to what has just happened.
Once the precident is set, we will be free to use tactical nukes and save our peoples lives.
Keep in mind that the terrorists *are* going to hit us here in the U.S. with this same sort of school or hospital attack on our most helpless citizens.
Write your local newspaper and call your local radio and TV stations to demand that we start arming our teachers to serve as a line of defense between terrorists and our children, lest there be no defense at all.

What would Bush have done if the same thing happeend here and the hostage takers demanded that we get out of Iraq?
Yeah, but all their attacks have had no reguard for sparing innocent women and children. This is just a lot more blantant.
Yeah, I think the storming was not planned. The medics had brought in an ambulance for the kids and the Islamofascists went nuts and started killing the kids that were trying to escape. Thats one take anyways.
Putin is not the criminal, the terrorists are.
“The majority of patients have bullet wounds in the back,” the sources said."
Typical of the Islamofascists around the world. Kill innocent children and their parents. Shooting them in the back, the sign a true coward.
