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.

absolutely... and I know which president I want in charge so that the horror that happened in Russia doesn't show up over here.
thanks... I appreciate the hug :-)
Oh, I'm so glad I didn't hear it. I know the sound from other tragedies. No, you never forget it. Yes, it hurts every time you remember it.
OK, but I will never lower myself to the level of savagery that would put panties on their heads. I have it on no less an authority than the American media that there has been no more inhuman act invented since time began than the dreaded panties-on-head torture.
Very easily unfortunately.
The only way the MSM will report this is if they get a copy of the Islamofacist Terrorists Scum raping the children video.
Then they will show the video 24/7 and blame it on Bush and the Israelis.
May Putin roll over Chechnya like wheat through a thresher. And I hope after he is done, there is nothing left but ashes and blood soaked dust.
No reprieve and no quarter. Leave nothing but a twisted memory.
It was done by mo-slimes. Even the mo-slimes acknowledge that simple fact!
When will we act? When will we rescue our children, and children everywhere from these vile monsters?
In WWII, civilization reviled the Nazis. People didn't say that "Oh, we must be tolerant." or "Oh, it's just a different belief." Nazism was destroyed. It was burned, bombed, and hanged.
There are those who speak of "good mo-slimes." Be aware that there were Nazis who paid their bills, were faithful to their wives, and were pleasant with the neighbors. They were still removed from power, their beliefs were discredited and outlawed, and many of them - rightly! - paid a price for their beliefs.
When will we take similar action against a group that is, in my opinion, more vicious and hateful than the Nazis? Or did these children suffer and die in vain?
True --- as long as it was just Christian and animist African children it didn't much matter what the Arabs and their converts to Islam chose to do to them. It was ignorant of the West to assume that only African children could be victimized like this. Over 2 million innocent Sudanese butchered and no one blinked an eye. Now it's several hundred Russians --- getting closer to home again.
And many denied ever even being Nazis --- they tried to distance themselves quite fast once the leadership was gone --- the same would happen to Muslims -- get this ended and many would willingly convert to something more civilized. Conversions to more peaceful religions would not be a problem.
I agree.
The headline reminds me of WWI propaganda posters of German submariners machine gunning drowning babies after torpedoing ships.
I am not saying the terrorists didn't knife babies and rape girls--but we should wait for further confirmation.
And maybe I'm jaded after al the inaccurate reporting over the last few years.
Actually there is video, I gather they sent it to Putin to let them know they were serious.
You know we won't see it here.
50% of Americans know about this by know. The details will come out, and I figure 70% of Americans will recognize this for what it is. The result will be twofold.
MSM will lose audience.
Kerry will lose voters.
I read once how Arabs in the Sudan were cutting off the heads of babies and small children in front of their hysterical mothers.
I'd not be surprised. They throw oil on little ones, boiling oil that is.
You believe that someone who would shoot a fleeing screaming child as it's parents looked on wouldn't be capable of raping that child?
Do you think you could do this in the next day or so? That would be resounding.....
That's right. This time they're calling them Chechen Rebels. They aren't representative of the Chechen population, and some of them aren't even from Chechnya, but from Arab nations. But we mustn't say the "M" word.
Capable or not--it doesn't necessarily follow.
As RightWhale said in an earlier post, these terrorists are certainly baby killers, which is plenty bad by itself.
I will await futher clarification concerning the rest.
I remember how it was reported that the Iraqi soldiers were killing babies in incubators when they invaded Kuwait years ago--which proved to be false propaganda.
It is possible that some kind of sexual assault occurred during the Russian school terror, and it's possible that babies were knifed there also (though is that much worse than being shot, anyway?).
But I will await further examination of those details before believing them.
Yes I knew there was a video, thus my former comment.
And that is exactly right they made it to send to Putin.
The actions and the video will work against them in the long run. With their seared consciences and demented brains they are their own worst enemies.
I would hope no one else ever sees it. It cannot be destroyed but it should be put in a locked safe. If it is destroyed, Kerry will swear it didn't happen.
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.
No, they did not renounce their humanity. This is what fully human men and women are capable of doing.
