The ITAR-TASS news agency quoted an unnamed high ranking intelligence offical in southern Russia as saying experts had surmised from facial structures that one attacker was black and nine were Arabs born in countries close 'to the equatorial part of the Arabian peninsula' possibly including Sudan and South Yemen.
Russian Deputy Prosecutor Gen. Sergei Fridinsky said Sunday that according to the latest information, 32 terrorists had been involved and the bodies of the 30 of them had been found, the Interfax news agency reported.

Two at large?
I hope the townspeople find them before the ACLU lawyers do.

I had heard one female terrorist had walked into a local hospital and was caught, but that still leaves one..unless they arent counting the guy that was lynched by the twonsfolk as he was trying to escape.

Two questions immediately come to mind.
1. Do the Russians even have a proper anti-terrorist force, like the SAS, Delta, or Seal Team Six that can handle a building assault?
2. Why couldn't they secure a proper perimeter around the school that would ensure NO ONE would get away? Hell, even my county's 18 member sheriff's office knows how to manage that?

According to a prior report, the populace got hold of one terrorist and threw an instant necktie party for him.

That always baffles me.
Remember the perps in Saudi Arabia--most of them got away. Why?
These escapes seem to happen too frequently.

Several nations need to create specialized assault teams that could be flown to such situations within hours. I have an uneasy feeling we will see more and more of these types of terrorist situations.
Horrors, but imagine several such hostage situations in several key electoral states just before our election, and the terrorists threatening the worst if GWB wins. The worst atrocities may be yet to come.

Some reports said part of the Muslim scum dressed in civilian clothes and ran out amongst the hostages in the chaos.
Sounded like everyone there was doing their utmost to save as many as possible.
Civilians rushed in right behind and even alongside the military while under fire to help the victims.
Things may not have gone as they would have wanted but I salute their courage and efforts.

I can't believe the stupidity of these scum. The Russians will tortute their names out of them and then the names out of all their scum gang members. Then they will round up most of the relatives of these terrorists and torture them untill they get more names. In the end there will be several thousand dead ragheads out of all of this. PLUS nobody in Russia will say boo about it.

There was an article this morning (IIRC) about some 'disappearances' in Chechnya. Masked and armed 'persons' showed up and carted many away.
Who? Why? Where?

...and I can just hear Fats Domino singing ''Ain't That A Shame'' in the background while the Russians are doing their thing.

Actually the civilians started the shooting back when the kids were running out and the "rebels" were shooting them in the back.
Then the Russian Police and Military had to get in on it.
It's a "don't mess with my kids" kind of thing.

It is ironic that the MSM called the pranks at Abu Ghraib atrocities, but the situation in Beslan, our own 9-11, Bali bombing, Moscow theatre, Israeli buses, etc., are tragedies.

when one's kitchen is infested with cockroaches and you turn on the light lin the middle of the night. You may be able to see and stomp some ofthem, but there will alsways be cockroaches that escape - no matter how many people are in the kitchen when the light goes on.

The head says "hostage takers"? How PC.
What about "terrorists of the Beslan massacre of the innocents"
