The Euros are thinking of two possibilities: 1. The Russians put some commandos in with the EMT's going to pick-up bodies, maybe to plant bugs or cameras or even to attempt a suprise storming and got caught. 2. One of the terrorists got careless with a bomb and set it off by accident which led to the slaugher.

In any event, it doesn't look like the Russians were expecting to storm the building. Their perimeter wasn't tight, and some terrorists managed to slip away in the confusion. Also, the emergency response was haphazard, leading me to believe that they weren't expecting to deal with a large number of wounded right that second.

Russia certaintly needs to revisit its tactics in dealing with terrorists. Maybe draft an actual terrorism policy instead of this trial by error they've been using lately.
