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.

They already are ignoring it
There is one thing about the WOT and Vietnam that is the same. The MSM is not on our side.
Probably already posted but the answer is simple. They don't want to turn Americans on Muslims in THIS country.
George Bush has little to do with this type of event not occuring in the US. Al Quaeda knows that they have just one more shot here. Fooled me once shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me. That is why preemption is the only option.
Advance on the 72 virgins?
Infidel women are considered whores because they don't cover their faces. But then for Muslims, any excuse will do.
Our news media does not report, because they don't want anyone to decide. Film of 9-11 vanished from tv screens because it was determined that watching it was causing too much patriotism. Can't have patriotism rearing it's ugly head.
Politicians won't talk about the details of what happened in Russia any more than they will talk about illegal immigration and open borders. Musn't stir unwanted emotions in the unwashed masses.
Unfortunately to nuke "them" means to nuke millions of innocents babes as well. This is something which cannot be thought of when an oz of anger is involved. The response must be conceived when cold as ice.
I share your rage but we cannot act from that.
TELL THE MORON KERRY ....THIS IS WHAT REAL GHENGIS MORONS DO !
It won't when there is a storm around.
Silence about the devasting Bush resurrection is its only hope to allow Kerry to survive. Publicity when Bush is in the driver's seat.
The RATmedia's slogan is "Election,what election?"
And there are murdered women all across the nation their stories could be expanded to 24/7 now that Kobe is out of the Distraction Galaxy.
Our Media is as bad as it gets. Exposure of this abomination will make Bush's victory certain and overwhelming. It will not be covered as long as there is ANY miserable excuse not to publicize it: storms, murders, rapes, someone lost their keys, anything.
I hate no one more than the RATmedia not even these animals. They would be extinct but for the RATmedia's sabatoge of American interests and action.
Our media should have been pushing the American people to support of Saddam's removal in 1990 and a general attack on these terrorists starting with Arafat. The blood of Millions is on its hands.
And your picture is correct IMO. Good analogy.
There is no way the MSM is innocent in this matter. They are deliberately trying to downplay Islam's guilt for this horrible massacre by not calling these inhuman monsters what they are, Muslim terrorists. Non-Muslim Chechens didn't slaughter hundreds of women and children in Beslan, Islamic terrorists did. No religious or political faction on earth except Islamic terrorists would commit such sadistic, inhuman atrocities on helpless babies and children.
I don't know if the MSM's motive is a politically correct attempt to deflect the American people's animosity toward American Muslims that might be caused by these atrocities, or if they are simply trying to counteract the strong preference among voters for Bush as a wartime leader against Islamic terrorism by not connecting the massacre to Islam. I tend to believe the latter, but I don't rule out a combination of motives.
In either case I believe the ploy will fail. A clear majority of Americans realize that Islamic terror is being directed against any nation that doesn't cave to Islam's demands, and they believe that Bush is the best choice to fight that terrorism. Sorry media jackasses, but it aint gonna work. Bush will win another term in spite of all your devious efforts to prevent it happening.
"Chechen captors" my a$$. These animals are TERRORISTS!
20 of them were Arabs and had affiliations with AQ.
Death is too good of punishment for these Murders!
Roast 'em on a stick with a pig. Payback Time is NOW!
Horrific news. I used to call these slamics animals. Not any more --- even Animals wouldn't descend to such barbarity. These are demon seed
How many more times is Christendom going to stand by and get emasculated? How many more times do we have to see this happening? How many more women and children do we want to seeraped and slaughteredd by theslamic psychos? Are we men if we allow this to go on?
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.
I'm dying inside... I wish I were more brave.
The next Pope may vey well be a Nigerian (CArdinal Arinze) or Indian (Cardinal Dias) -- citizens of countries that know about Islamiichorrors
