Russia School Seizure Was Long Planned

The raid's commander shot the dissidents' leader to death and then detonated the suicide belts worn by two women raiders by remote control to establish order in the band, Sikoyev told The Associated Press.

Well that is some new and interesting info. Who was the raid's commander I wonder? And of which nationality? I hope we can find this out soon.

[Azzurri]

...some of the raiders may not have known what they were getting into and were appalled to find they were holding children hostage.

I wouldn't be surprised. Speculation was that only 1 or 2 of the hijackers on 9/11 knew the real mission was to crash the planes into buildings. Apparently there are no shortage of willing dupes in the militant Muslim movement.

[Andy from Beaverton]

band... raid... What am I missing? Is the raid's commander a Chechen or one of the Russian military? The story needs clarity.

[Bobby777]

I submit both clowns in the cockpit of each of the 4 planes had to know because 1 of them might have tried to steer away from the target and we wouldn't have seem a smooth approach.

Pennsylvania will always remain a mystery, but in NYC and the Pentagon, those 3 planes hit what they intended to ... that tells me neither of the pilots was fighting the other one at the last minute when it became clear what was going on ...

the pilots had to know ... as for the clowns in the rear, they may have been surprised, especially when they found out who allah really was.

When you attack a Russian school on the opening day, you get parents, their children, teachers and local dignitaries. The terrorists knew children were going to be part of the hostage group. They wanted to make a maximum impact and the children being killed were part of the plan.

[ArcLight]

Yeah, sure. They raided a school and were shocked--shocked!--to find children inside. Get serious.

[TomGuy]

But the reports portray the raid as a fastidiously prepared operation — in which militants used renovation work as a cover to plant arms and explosives in the school — almost literally under authorities' noses.

After 9-11, there were numerous reports of jobsites having 'undocumented' illegal aliens working there. Most were passed off as no big deal, even though some of those jobsites were at locations that require high levels of security. Yet, there seems to be little real concern about the illegals.

"Is the raid's commander a Chechen or one of the Russian military?"

Many Chechen are former Soviet soldiers. Some were officers.

[Solamente]

I can't believe they let that mutt "lawyer up" so soon!

[lilylangtree]

Russia's horrific hostage event was long planned. So was 911. 911 was planned as far back as 1996. Both countries suffered horribly and tragically at the hands of the islamic fanatics. The countries should put together an international hit squad and not rest until these murdering bastards are killed (hopefully slowly and mercilessly).

[Andy from Beaverton]

No, that's not what I'm asking. Was the guy shot by one of their own or from the forces outside the building?

[dinok]

One of his own...they had terror family problems

[Kaslin]

Even though 9/11 has been planned since 1996 the leftwingers are still blaming the president for the attck and are saying it happened on his watch. It makes me so sick to hear that

[Kaslin]

oh I am sure the terrorist pilots knew what the plan was before they even went on the planes

[thegreatbeast]

Later

[Ptarmigan]

Disturbing, but not surprising. The way the terrorist attack was carried out was well coordinated and planned.

[Andy from Beaverton]

O.K., now everything makes sense. They still don't trust the black widows. In the theater, they did not let them have the batteries to their suicide belts because they were worried that they were so stupid they would blow themselves up. Now they have remote control triggers. Hopefully the Russians can use this to their advantage to disarming the bombs the next time.

[Happy2BMe]

MOSCOW - Militants appear to have planned their seizure of a Russian school carefully, starting months earlier and sneaking weapons into the building in advance. Still, some of the raiders may not have known what they were getting into and were appalled to find they were holding children hostage.

Some of the objecting militants were killed by their own comrades, the lawyer for a captured militant told The Associated Press.
