About a dozen mothers, like Dzandarova, were allowed to take only one child, forced to leave another behind.

Violence often selects its victims randomly, but seldom is a mother asked to make a Sophie's choice: Save one child and leave behind another, possibly to face death.

"Alana was clinging to me and holding my hand firmly. But they separated us, and said: 'You go with the boy. Your sister can stay here with her.' I cried. I begged them. Alana cried. The women around us wept. One of the Chechens said: 'If you don't go now, you don't go at all. You stay here with your children … and we will shoot all of you.' "

She couldn't save both of them. She could only die with both of them — or save one of them and herself.

"I didn't have time to think what I was doing," she said. "I pressed Alan even stronger to myself, and I went out, and I heard all the time how my daughter was crying and calling for me behind my back. I thought my heart would break into pieces there and then."


I wonder if liberal kerry supporter Meryl Streep would be willing to put as much energy making sure the world knew of this atrocity as she does vilifying our President?

These monsters must be stopped. This must never be allowed to happen again.

Kerry says the terrorist threat is 'overrated'.

The families of the 3000+ who died on 9/11 will be relieved to hear that.

Can not find the words to express the horror and sadness of this.

...I heard all the time how my daughter was crying and calling for me behind my back. I thought my heart would break into pieces there and then."

Unimaginable. My heart breaks for this mother, and the others. May God give them strength.

Kerry would storm the school with spitballs.

God, please forgive me for the hatred I now feel. Death sounds too good for these terrorist thugs. Things like this, the kidnapping and beheading of innocent peoples and the genocide of the Christians in Africa are all perpetrated by Muslims. Islam, a religion of peace. Bovine scat! Obviously, it will be Muslim blood or our own that is to fill the streets the world over.

Sun Tzu:
There is no instance of a country having benefited from prolonged warfare.

In war, then, let your great object be victory, not lengthy campaigns.

Soon, a time will come when patience and compassion has run dry and men, having cried all the tears they can muster, will move to action.

Then the time will for decimation to be visited upon the terrorists, those that supported them, and those that did not stop them. There is a coming river of blood, a war the likes of which has not yet been seen.

[Restorer]

I don't believe we know yet. The story reads as if written before the shootout.

[demnomo]

These are Muslim Islamofascist monsters.There are Arabs among the Chechen Muslim scum according to reports. Why hasn't the MSM pointed this out? The MSM keeps using the "separatists" and "freedom fighter" garbage to describe them.

PIGS! And the Democrats could give a damn--save that it might make the Security Moms take a cold, hard look at their "war hero" Kerry who claims that threats of terrorism are highly exaggerated. EVIL PIGS! Kill all of the Islamofascists before they come after our children!

I have never been so angry and furious with anyone who supports, excuses or calls this kind of evil the work of "separatists." fighting against Russia for "freedom." They're evil Islamic terrorist scum--period.

This is truly one of the most tragic stories of "terrorism" I have ever heard. I live in Oklahoma City and remember too well the pictures of the children who lived, and those who didn't, during our own "up close and personal" experience with terrorism.

I find it very telling of John Kerry's campaign that his WIFE is reported to have said: (paraphrased)Europeans have had to get used to terror attacks, perhaps Americans should too.

Somehow, I don't see the American public ever getting accustomed to this kind of victimization!

[sc2_ct]

Can not find the words to express the horror and sadness of this.

I can: Putin needs to turn Chechnya into a smoking radioactive crater. This story just grabs your heart and is unimmaginable. These attacks have to be stopped, and a "free and independent" Chechnya won't do a thing to stop the killing, since Russia only sent in troops in response to bombings to begin with. These people aren't "freedom fighters" or "separatists", they are muslim terrorists. They must be destroyed.

Absolutely heartbreaking. There are no words, except of absolute contempt for the monsters responsible for this cowardly act of using children as targets.

If T said this, I nominate her house for the first attack by these barbarians. She and Kerry MUST be home when this happens. They need to see it up close and personal.

[fortunecookie]

Yes.
