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.

This further clarifies what we're up against. Barbarians.
I searched by the title but I didn't find a previous post.
I suspected from the beginning there were rapes. That is standard treatment from Muslim fundie terrorists.
I assume the reporter has verifiable sources. You'd have to email him.
bumping for future outrage if a lefty tries to defend this scum.
They're just doing Allah"s work..........
Damn animals.
Uhhh. Did you check the link. It is an article in the Sunday Mirror. Actually headline reads:
THEY KNIFED BABIES, THEY RAPED GIRLS Sep 5 2004
SCHOOL SLAUGHTER: 323 DEAD, 434 HURT
By Euan Stretch Chief Reporter
It is an urban myth if it only spread by word of mouth or email or internet. This is an article in a reputable newspaper.
This is probably the biggest story of the year, and it gets covered like its less important than Amber Frey testifying about her sex life.
Syria is now in the Russian site.
I wouldn't complain if they used some pre-emption. The Arabs would quickly find, however, that the Russians play by an entirely different set of rules than the US.
May the horrors of hell become more hot just for the terrorist scum who did this.
Someone needs to ask kerry...how soft should russia go on these monsters, do THEY deserve the death penalty?
To conclude an emailed condolence to the Russian Embassy, I added ...
"May retribution be swift, sure and merciless."
Anyone have a link to the "bayonetting" article? Seems all the poor girl wanted was a drink of water....
That explains Putin's demeanor. I watched him on television yesterday. There was something different about him which I couldn't put my finger on. He looked deeply, deeply disturbed, like he had been affected to his core. Maybe it was the video.
Do you have the email address? Would you post it on this thread? Thanks.
"Exterminate the brutes!"
It is UNBELIEVABLE that this story of terrorism in the Russian school is not FRONT PAGE NEWS in this country!
It's hidden in the middle of the newspapers and
TV news (including FOX) is barely covering it!
This is ghastly and our country needs to wake up
before it happens here!
You are defaming barbarians. These creatures are without souls. They are demons.
Yeah. I don't know. We ought to be careful about what we hear. What was done is bad enough even without embellishment. I have no problem calling them baby killers and I wouldn't complain if Putin declared martial law and cleaned out the region.
Kerry is mute on this. He makes me sick!
Now that one was a chechen.
