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.

I wish I was being facetious, but that is what would really happen.
I would give them their 72 virgins... after castrating them...
The reason the media is not focusing on this, is they have to attack Bush. Also, they have to keep the Swiftboat vets ads off the air. Anything to bash Bush and help kerry.
Why isn't this a topic for 60 minutes instead of a book of fiction written by rumormonger Kitty Kelly? Is there not a single reputable news agency out there!!
Religion of PIECES...
BTTT
NO!!!
Because they're hot on the heels of a late-breaking story of overriding importance to the country - how many times did President Bush drill with the Alabama National Guard thirty years ago.
You think you're childrens' safety is more important than that???
Feces
Because they DO NOT want the sheeple to know that terrorism is real.
Words fail me.
Laura had a spokesman from CAIR on today. She lied her butt off about the Islamic residents of Israel. She said they didn't have equal rights.
Prior to the Iraq invasion the Islamic Arabs living in Israel were the only Moslems that could vote.
The Kennesit has Moslem members. They can vote and hold office.
She also said that Israel and the United States were the greatest risk that Moslems faced.
I do not believe that teachers would accept arms.
I am certain the union would not allow it.

It would shave points off hanoi john's polls.
