THE full horror of the Russian school atrocity began to emerge yesterday as traumatised children told horrific tales of stabbed babies and brutal rapes.
It has also emerged that scores of the 323 who died - including many children - had been shot in the back.
While despairing soldiers and rescue workers moved among the growing pile of body bags, it was revealed that an 18-month-old baby had been repeatedly stabbed by a black-clad terrorist who had run out of ammunition.
Other survivors told how screaming teenage girls were dragged into rooms adjoining the gymnasium where they were being held and raped by their Chechen captors who chillingly made a video film of their appalling exploits
They said children were forced to drink their own urine and eat the petals off the flowers they had brought their teachers after nearly three days without food or water in the stifling hot gym.
Their stories came as Russian officials warned that the final death toll of the siege of Middle School No 1 at Beslan in North Ossetia - in which up to 1,200 people were held captive - was likely to be more than 400.
The official toll yesterday stood at 323 which included 156 children, 10 Russian soldiers and two emergency service workers - 35 of the hostage-takers were also killed. Last night 434 people were being treated in hospital with 247 children and 85 adults in a critical condition.
A Russian official said six seriously injured children had been taken to Moscow for treatment.
"One of them is a child, just 18 months old, with many knife wounds," he said.

still waiting for a reporter to ask:
"Mr. Kerry, do you propose we should be 'more sensitive' to the islamic terrorists who horrorized the russian community and videotaped the rape of their school children"
Please reporters, GROW SOME BALLS before its too late!!
"I'm so mad I don't even know what to call these animals...savages...beasts...sons of Satan?"
Murdering Scum...Bastards...SOB's...and hopefully soon, Russia will call them "The Target"!
Yeah. Is it true? Remember the stories coming out of Kuwait.
I guess I am a little dim here. You want to make the direct connection?
Al Mirror is normally a stridently anti-American and pro-jihad tabloid. They were the ones who whipped up the initial Guantanamo torture scandal that was quickly shot down by British diplomats. They were also busted a couple of months ago printing fake abuse pictures from Iraq.
If they would print this appalling story, it almost has to be true.
How anybody can vote for Kerry after something like this happens is beyond me.
Muhammadan Terrorists have long been snuff-film producers...
"I can't think of them as humans. They are sub-humans, at this point. Whether by breeding or indoctrination - or by renouncing their humanity."
You're exactly right. And they HAVE renounced their humanity in my opinion.
I wonder when the American public will wake up and demand to know why the MSM is still force-feeding us stories on Abu-Ghraib, blowing it out of all proportion and making the Americans feel bad about their country -- all to elect that dumb-a## Kerry and his trial lawyer buddy?
A revolution only truly succeeds when those revolting have higher moral character and standing than those they are revolting against!
I wasn't sure about the Chechans personally,,,I thought they may have had a case against the Russians. But when they resort to warring against children like that and to brutalize them tells me that they have no moral legitimacy.
Putin needs to do what ever it takes to pacify that region and to send a message to the intellectual architects of that Chechan revolt and to Alquaeda itself!
Go Putin...we're behind you on this one!
Please tell me he didn't really say this.
"Summoning up his courage, he approached a hostage taker with a bayonet fixed to his assault rifle and asked him for a drink.""Instead of giving him water, he drove his bayonet through the boy’s body."
Trust me a couple of those words went through my mind, but being a lady, I couldn't post them. So, thank you for reading my mind. LOL!
Is it true?
This EVIL needed to be wiped off the face of this earth as soon as possible.
